Be our guest! We invite you to watch and enjoy as our students share their outstanding talents in plays, musicals, concerts, and art exhibitions. Guest speakers, performers and other special events add to the creative mix.
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.
Our final mainstage of the 2025-2026 SFCC Theatre season..........LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! Book & Lyrics by Howard Ashman, Music by Alan Menken, and Directed by Kristen Henning!
“The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!” - Musical Theatre International

Our third mainstage of the 2025-2026 SFCC Theatre season..........THESE SHINING LIVES by Melanie Marnich, directed by Tim Wells!
“THESE SHINING LIVES chronicles the strength and determination of women considered expendable in their day, exploring their true story and its continued resonance. Catherine and her friends are dying, it’s true; but theirs is a story of survival in its most transcendent sense, as they refuse to allow the company that stole their health to kill their spirits—or endanger the lives of those who come after them.” - Dramatists Play Service

Our second mainstage of the 2025-2026 SFCC Theatre season..........REALLY ROSIE! Book & Lyrics by Maurice Sendak, Music by Carole King, and directed by guest director Lucy Lemke Clark!
“Rosie, the sassiest kid on her block of Brooklyn’s Avenue P, entertains herself and her friends by acting out showbiz fantasies, notably directing and starring in an Oscar-winning movie.
Written by the author and illustrator of “Where the Wild Things Are” and other popular children’s books, REALLY ROSIE is a jewel for children and adults. Author Maurice Sendak is the winner of a Caldecott Medal, National Book Award, and a National Medal of the Arts. Legendary composer Carole King is the winner of a National Academy of Songwriters Lifetime Achievement Award, a Grammy Trustees Award and the Library of Congress’s Gershwin Award for Popular Song, and has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.” - Concord Theatricals

Throughout this week we’ll be announcing the 2025-2026 SFCC Theatre Season!!
Our first mainstage of the season..........AS YOU LIKE IT by William Shakespeare, directed by Kristen Henning!
“AS YOU LIKE IT follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle’s court, accompanied by her cousin Celia, to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. This Shakespearian pastoral comedy subverts the traditional rules of romance: gender roles, nature and politics are confused in a play that reflects on how bewildering yet utterly pleasurable life can be.”
Rated: PG

“In the rubble of the London Blitz of World War II, Alice Spencer’s budding teen life is turned upside down, and she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. When the ailing Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.
As they travel through the tale, Alice By Heart explores the poignancy of first love, coming to terms with loss, and finding the courage to move forward. This world premiere musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.” -Music Theatre International
