DUE TO MONTEREY PENINSULA COLLEGE BEING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT, SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS MAY EXPERIENCE SERIOUS BUDGET CUTS….AND THE NEWLY RE-DONE THEATER PROGRAM IS APPARENTLY ONE OF THEM. THE 500 THOUSAND DOLLAR BUDGET CUT THAT IS EXPECTED IN THE DEPARTMENT, AND THE REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ATTENDING M-P-C, COULD MAKE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE STUDENTS IN THE THEATER PROGRAM TO PUT ON A PRODUCTION THIS YEAR…AND WITHOUT A PRODUCTION, THE DEPARTMENT AND SCHOOL IS LIKELY TO LOSE EVEN MORE FUNDING.
