Welcome to Our Award-Winning Department

Each is claiming to be the "real" Sherlock Holmes. The nurse (Riley Buckalew) stands on a platform overlooking the three inmates, she is an ominous figure in dim blue light. Photo by Lynn Lane.

The Drama Department offers a variety of courses that focus on practical training for actors (Acting I, Movement, Voice), technicians (Stagecraft I & II, Stage Make-Up, Costuming), and the greater theatre audience (Theatre Appreciation & Film Appreciation). The department also presents multiple stage productions each year, which put classroom work and discussion into practice (Practicum classes).

We offer a wide variety of productions for our audiences: Musicals, Comedies, Dramas, and our original One-Act Play Festival. Lone Star College-Kingwood actively participates in the Kennedy Center’s American College Theatre Festival & the Texas Community College Speech and Theatre Play Festival.

Participation in theatre classes and productions is open to all Lone Star College students and members of the community.

Certain courses may be used as the Creative Arts Component for all Lone Star College degree programs as well as transfer credit to four-year degree programs.
