The Theatre and Speech Communication Department consists of two programs: Drama and Speech.

Drama

The Drama Program offers both majors and interested students opportunities to perform in, design, build, and run theatrical productions. The department operates both the 1,004-seat McAllister Fine Arts Auditorium and the more intimate 150-seat McCreless Theatre. Most drama classes require students to participate in management, acting, and technical activities of the department. Auditions for departmental productions are open to any student in good academic standing.

The department’s drama season offers the community a variety of productions, including a children’s theatre production for area elementary school students and the public. Admission is free to San Antonio College students, faculty, and staff presenting a valid ID. Proceeds from general public ticket sales support the Ron Lucke Scholarship Fund. These student scholarships, awarded at the end of each long term, reward their recipients’ academic achievement, professionalism, and dedication to theatre and communication.

Speech

The Speech Program serves the degree requirements of students in a variety of majors and technical fields, as well as a limited number of majors. Course topics include public speaking, interpersonal communication, business and professional speech, voice and diction, as well as pronunciation classes for non-native speakers of English.

The department sponsors a highly successful Forensics Program. Students here compete with other college and university students in public speaking and literary performance events. A fundraising showcase each semester features the speeches and performances of forensics and acting students. Donations to this event support the Ron Lucke Scholarship Fund. These student scholarships, awarded at the end of each long term, reward their recipients’ academic achievement, professionalism, and dedication to speech and drama.
