"The Foothill Theatre Conservatory staff takes the time to get to know each student's strengths and works to shape these into skills.

I cannot say enough about the quality of this program."

"The Conservatory experience provided me the chance to grow, succeed, fail and triumph in the company of a dedicated group of peers. This, coupled with a staff of immense talent, experience and professional savvy,and an exciting and engaging course curriculum, made the 2 years an intense, unforgettable experience. The FTC is a real gem-where else can you get this level of instruction, intensity and professionalism for the price of a Junior College education?"
