ALL STUDENTS enrolled at Northwest Mississippi Community College are welcome to participate in Northwest Theatre productions! Whether you are majoring in theatre or not, you are most welcome to audition and take theatre courses!
Live for the stage? Our theatre department is the place for you.
The highly acclaimed Northwest Theatre Department is known for giving students a firm foundation in theatre education. From classes in acting and performance to classes in design and production, students will leave Northwest with a well-rounded knowledge and experience in all theatrical elements. Students will receive opportunities in all areas of theatre and know what their strong suits are when they transfer to a university. We provide direct pathways to all MS universities, as well as close connections with schools all throughout our region. Northwest theatre students are highly recruited by universities as they are known for their impeccable training.
Our season typically consists of a Fall Musical, Winter comedy or drama, and a Spring comedy or drama.
Our theatre department participates in the MS Theatre Association annual festival, the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, and the National Association of Teachers of Singing vocal competition. The department also sponsors the Northwest Players Club, a campus group dedicated to promoting interest in theatre and developing dramatic talents as well as The NWCC Improvisers, an improv group that meets weekly to encourage artist expression and strengthen various acting techniques.
Scholarships are available to students in theatre pathways.
*Offered at Senatobia campus only.
