THE ACTORS CONSERVATORY

DETERMINING READINESS

ACLPC logo

We are no longer accepting applications for the FALL 2024 cohort of the Actors Conservatory, as we are totally full/impacted. Please consider joining our program FALL 2025, or beginning your time with LPC Theater Arts
as a Theater Major / Non-Conservatory. 

For more information, email Titian Lish at tlish@laspositascollege.edu 

Before you fill out the APPLICATION FORM below,
we want to go over a few more things.

We believe there is a place for everyone in the theatre. A strong theater program should be reflective of the world around us, celebrating the unique differences in our backgrounds, experiences, diversity, and personal narratives. If you are ready to pursue your craft, we want to help you do that.

We are not currently an audition based program, and so we require that you to participate in a readiness course, to make sure that you fully understand the direction we intend to take you. 

THEA 1: CONSERVATORY READINESS

Prospective Students will be expected to participate in THEA 1: Conservatory Readiness. This course is required for students interested in participating in the Actors Conservatory at Las Positas College. This course prepares students for a rigorous two-year training program in acting, musical theater, and dance. Students are expected to come ready to  perform as well as participate in mentorship and cohort activities.

MANAGING EXPECTATIONS

Our goal at all times is to guide you to success in your professional readiness. We want to help you by managing your expectations early on. There are many things to consider while working with us at The Actors Conservatory:
  • Because you will move as a cohort, you will be scheduled with specifically prescribed days. Please consider this in your determination of readiness.
  • We will aim whenever possible to schedule your course work on Mon-Thu, so that you can have weekends to work and prepare, rehearse, and recover from your busy training schedule.
  • This program does not offer a course of CSU/IGETC GE courses. This is a full time (14+credits per semester) vocational program. Though many of our courses can count towards those patterns, it is not the objective of the program for you to receive an AA degree. 
    • If you decide you want to get your AA-T after your Conservatory training ends, you won't be far behind your friends. Just check in with us! We want to keep you on track.
