Our program, Rainbow, produces plays selected by students in a spring 5-credit course. Auditions are held in the preceding quarter, and since 1993 Rainbow has cast diverse actors for shows focusing on the experiences and the identities of African Americans, Asian Americans, and Chicanx / Latinx Americans. Since Fall 2016 this course has fulfilled the Ethnicity and Race general education requirement. In the 2018 - 2019 school year we will celebrate 25 years of creating community and engaging the campus in culturally enriching performances. However, this year we will be hosting the Rainbow Theater class in spring of 2020.
