Theatre & Film

Somerset Community College is home to a thriving, award-winning theatre community. This popular program at SCC allows students to pursue an Associate of Arts degree with an emphasis in Theatre Arts. Our Theatre program provides opportunities for both college and high school students, as well as members of the general public, to be involved in live theatre and video productions. From Teen Theatre to Community Outreach, there's much to explore! Please take the time to watch this short video from SCC’s previous Theatre Director, Steve Cleberg, about SCC's Theatre Department.

A special thank you to Steve Cleberg

For over 30 years, Steve Cleberg led the Theatre & Film department at SCC. He expertly directed and performed in over 100 plays, and has also written and directed numerous film projects such as Bad Day at Summer Rock, Dustin's Reunion and Dancing in Moonlight. His scripts, Radio Suspense Theatre and Radio Suspense Theatre: The First Episode, are currently published by Playscripts, Inc.

Cleberg retired from SCC in 2020, but he leaves behind an incredible legacy throughout the community. You can now find Cleberg enjoying his retirement by performing with The Flashback Theater Co. and adapting works for the stage. The department of Theatre & Film extends it’s warmest thanks to all the work Cleberg has done for the College and the Somerset community.
