Transcript

All right, everyone taking center stage is Ethan, a freshman theater student at TJC. He’s here to share the excitement of TJC’s vibrant cultural arts district located right on central campus, home to the Wise Auditorium, art galleries, music performances, and theater productions. It’s a hub of creativity and expression. Take it away, Ethan. We cannot wait to hear a story.

– Thank, Alex. Art has always had a starring role in my life, so choosing TJC was an easy decision. They truly value the arts and give students real opportunities to learn and grow. From incredible performance spaces to hands-on experiences, TJC checked all of my boxes. I can pursue my passion, while being a part of a supportive and inspiring community. At TJC, we have four main performance venues. The Jean Browne Theater hosts three productions each year offering students hands-on experience in acting, stage design, and production. The Rogers Palmer Performing Arts Center hosts larger productions, along with music from our Apache band as well as fall and spring dance shows. This venue allows students to take center stage and showcase their talents in a professional setting. Creativity isn’t just limited to a stage. TJC also brings science to life in exciting ways. Our 40-foot dome theater offers captivating experiences that transport you to outer space. It’s a place where learning meets adventure, making science truly unforgettable. We also have the Tyler Museum of Art, which provides students a chance to engage with the professional art world, making it an important part of TJC’s vibrant arts community. TJC’s Cultural Arts District offers countless ways to get involved beyond academics. Whether you’re performing, creating art, or attending events, it’s a place where creativity blooms. Students can connect, express themselves, and build future-ready skills. For me, it’s been a catalyst for inspiration and I know that’s true for many others as well. TJC has been an instrument in setting the stage for my growth as an artist, pushing me to embrace new creative opportunities. It has given me the tools to evolve as a creator and has helped me step out of my comfort zone to explore my full potential. The stage is yours, Alex.

– Wow, Ethan. TJC’s Cultural Arts District is truly inspiring with theater, music, and visual arts all in one place adds a whole new dimension to campus life. Plus how many community colleges can claim a 40-foot state-of-the-art dome theater. It’s where creativity and curiosity come together at TJC. That was amazing. Thanks again.
