Make all the world a stage with a degree in the performing arts
Do you love your time in the spotlight? Have you always had a love for music, for performing, for acting? Maybe you enjoy working behind the scenes, helping turn a show into a true production. If so, you might enjoy a career in the performing arts. On stage, you might sing, dance, act or play an instrument. Off stage, you could write or direct the show, build sets, create costumes, mix lighting or run sound.
At LMC, the performing arts program explores all the facets of a career in music and/or theatre. You’ll perform on the Mendel Center stage, getting hands-on experience with every piece of production.
