'Scenes' Preperation
— Fullerton College Hornet - Heather Fuller - Wednesday, April 28th, 1999
Actors scramble around the room, perfecting their lines and moves as Director Gary Krinke, instructs them that the scene that is concerning him, the one they are practicing needs to be cut down in time.
The actors, along with Krinke, stage managers and all others involved with the Theatre Arts Department's version of "Scenes from an Execution," are-less than two weeks away' from opening night.
The play, starring Sarah Dunkerly as Galactia and Brian Fowler as Carpenta, is a post modernistic comedy by Howard Barker and directed by Fullerton College's own Gary Krinke.
"This is such an interesting, politically-charged play," says Krinke. "The playwright uses humor as well as heated argument to discuss such things as the woman as artist, pacifism, feminism, freedom of artistic expression and the relationship between the artist and government."

Areas of Study...
Acting, Performance and Musical Theatre
Each season of plays provides a wide variety of roles and production post experiences for Theatre students. High production values, current state of the art technologies, and a wide spectrum of very challenging styles and subject matter make the performance venues excellent laboratories for student exploration and growth.
Directing and Playwriting
Few community colleges offer students opportunities to study directing and playwrighting in their first two years of undergraduate study. Students follow the classwork they successfully complete with opportunities to compete for assignments in the Playwrights Festival and the Directors Festival.
General Education
For both the non-major and the major alike, the Theatre Arts general education courses meet university transfer requirements and allow the student to build a strong foundation of introductory knowledge to the many facets of theatre-making and theatre-study.
