Our Philosophy
The College Light Opera Company is dedicated to providing young theatre artists with an immersive, hands-on learning experience that bridges the gap between academic training and professional practice. Through our rigorous summer season and collaborative environment, we offer a unique "professional sandbox" where emerging performers, designers, musicians, technicians, and arts administrators refine their craft in a fast-paced, high-caliber setting.
Our educational philosophy is built on the principles of learning by doing, artistic excellence, and collaborative growth. At CLOC, participants engage in a dynamic, real-world rehearsal and production process, gaining invaluable experience through mentorship, experimentation, and performance. By working side by side with industry professionals and fellow aspiring artists, our students develop the discipline, adaptability, and creative problem-solving skills necessary for a successful career in the performing arts.
We believe that access to intensive, hands-on theatre training not only fosters artistic mastery but also cultivates confidence, resilience, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts. Through our commitment to experiential learning, CLOC nurtures the next generation of theatre makers, equipping them with the skills and passion to thrive in an ever-evolving artistic landscape.
