All casting is nontraditional and diverse, welcoming all students into all roles. HCC Theatre offers exposure to a world class and diverse guest artist series, which provides performances and workshops to the community and students.

Ah, the classic story of the budding writer who finds themselves trapped in an alternate sitcom multiverse. Tale as old as time. What do you get when you mix an homage to Noises Off, Pleasantville, and classic episodes of Friends, Seinfeld, Will & Grace and The Golden Girls? You get MAKE ‘EM LAUGH! by Emmy nominee Jason Odell Williams. This fresh comedy explores what it means to find one's passion (all while figuring out how to escape being stuck inside the TV). Time to brush up on your late-night sitcoms, people.
