Current Arts Season
There’s always something artistically amazing happening on campus! Our Current Arts Season features plays and music concerts in the fall, followed by a spring semester filled with great plays, concerts, recitals, and a new Daum exhibition. We’ll close out the year with our annual Student Art Show, Student Theatre Showcase and Musical Retrospect. Join us!
Daum Museum of Contemporary Art
The world-renowned Daum Museum of Contemporary Art on campus features a diverse permanent collection and offers three exhibition cycles each year and up to 15 exhibitions.
Support the Arts
The Arts entertain and enlighten; they spark innovation and creativity; and they improve academic performance. For these reasons and a host of others, we invite you to support the Arts at SFCC. Contributing is easy, and genuinely appreciated.
Performing Arts Auditions
We offer scholarships in all our fine and performing arts programs. These scholarships are open to high school seniors, transfer students, majors, and nonmajors. You are welcome to audition for multiple programs. To learn how to be considered for a scholarship and to schedule an audition, visit performing arts auditions.

“When a freshman is unexpectedly given the coveted role of Lady Macbeth, a few upperclassmen actresses invite her over to “celebrate” her casting and reassert their positions at the top of the theatre department’s hierarchy. As the Fireball and Svedka flow, the girls interrogate their own sense of ambition as well as the power structures that have shaped their theatrical education.” - TRWPlays

Summer Spotlight: Braden Miller (2023 AFA - Theatre & AA - Theatre)
This summer, Braden is working with Unto These Hills in North Carolina performing as Prospector Elijah/Soldier/Combatant!
“SFCC got my foot in the door for theatre and taught me all the basics I needed to work in the field. By working with a tight-knit and self-sufficient small company at SFCC where everyone worked on everything, I was really prepared to go into and work with a professional company.”
Summer Spotlight: Josh Barner (2020 Theatre)
This summer Josh has had the pleasure of playing the role of Peshewa/Thin warrior for Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheater’s production of Tecumseh: Outdoor Drama!
“This summer has been an amazing experience for my creative brain. It’s been a true blessing waking up and getting to learn each and everyday from everyone here on the mountain! Whether it’s learning how to ride a horse or stitching up a repair, there’s always a new lesson to learn. State Fair Community College prepared me for my acting journey by providing me with a strong foundation in acting and performance techniques. Throughout my time at the college, I was able to participate in a variety of theater productions, workshops, and classes that helped me develop my skills as an actor. The college’s theater program helped me to learn how to analyze scripts, develop characters, and effectively communicate with other actors on stage. I was also able to gain experience in various aspects of theater production, such as crew work, lighting, and sound. Additionally, the college’s faculty and staff provided me with valuable feedback and guidance that helped me to continually improve as an actor.”
We’re wrapping up Week 1 of rehearsals for MACBITCHES by Sophie McIntosh! Here’s a few pictures from the week! You’re gonna want to come out and see this!!
Summer Spotlight: Jenna Speer (2021 AA - Theatre)
Jenna is working at the Barn Theatre in Augusta, MI this summer through October! As an apprentice she’s had the opportunity to be in the ensemble of Fiddler on the Roof, a featured dancer in Mystic Pizza, and is currently playing Ado Annie in Oklahoma! (opens August 6 and runs through the 18th)—More shows in the season to be cast! In addition to performing, she works in the scene shop during the day and performs in a bar show after every main stage production!
“SFCC was the first big stepping stone in my journey that has led to my first professional job. I couldn’t be more grateful for everything I’ve learned and all the friendships I’ve gained along the way!”
Summer Spotlight continues for our SFCC Theatre Program students and alumni!!
Emma Miller (current AFA - Musical Theatre student) recently played Darlene Henshaw in The Riverside Players production of The Diviners! She also worked as an actor in an active shooter training for law enforcement, fire, and EMS personnel.
“The directors at SFCC help focus on the development of your character. Not only making the characters human and bringing them to life, but also stepping back and figuring out why they fit in the story and how they compare to the other characters. The SFCC theatre program has such a diverse season, exposing us to numerous different styles of acting that help you become more adaptable.
Although I have only been here a year, the resources provided have expanded my confidence and knowledge immensely, which made me stand out in the audition process. Coming out here was one of the best decisions I have ever made, not only for my wallet but also because of the people. I have never been around such a passionate and kind group that lifts each other up as SFCC does; it does make all the difference.”
Summer Spotlight time continues for our SFCC Theatre Program students and alumni!!
Alex Knudsen (2024 AFA - Musical Theatre):
“This summer I have worked with Emporia State University Summer Theatre, where I played Valentine in their production of William Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Also this summer I worked with WeAct, Emporia’s community theatre, where I played Schroeder in their production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown!
SFCC Theatre helped me grow in my acting skills far beyond what I have ever anticipated, and has introduced me to new areas of theatre I am now incredibly passionate about.
In the fall, I will be attending Emporia State University pursuing a BFA in Theatre!!
