LACC Theatre Academy

The Theatre Academy is a full-time professional training conservatory for actors, technicians and costumers. Under the LA College Promise, we offer one year of free enrollment to all full-time students graduating from LAUSD high schools and charter schools. We also offer music majors tuition free attendance, private lessons and financial aid thanks to a gift from The Herb Alpert Foundation. Additionally, our students benefit from a wide variety of financial aid options. 

Professional theater training is offered in four areas, or options, of concentration: Acting, Advanced Acting, Costuming, and Technical Theatre. The Theatre Academy at Los Angeles City College has firmly established itself as one of the most highly respected professional theater training institutions in the United States. Since its founding in 1929, the professional theatre training program of the Academy has been dedicated to developing the skills, crafts, and attitudes of students to prepare them for careers in the professional theater.
