    Scholarships covered all of my costs of coming here…I really like the big open spaces that we have, the painting and the drawing room, and all the easels – it gives us space to spread out and work big if we need to.

  • I’ve gone from complete beginner level play to soloing over jazz arrangements in front of a crowd. That is all thanks to the amazing faculty that we have here at Sheridan College.

  • I would tell other students that it is not only a better financial decision…but this program in particular because we have access to all of these professional theater makers and professional settings. It really gives you a taste of how that functions and how that works.
