Adapting over time

There are not many secrets left at Amarillo College. However, the AC theater department costume house is a lesser-known oddity at the school.

AC has had a theater program since 1973, but students did not always have a formal place to build and store their costumes.

“When I was a student from ’88 to ’90, there was not a place to construct, clean or build. We just didn’t have any place to go,” said Ray Newburg, a theater arts assistant professor.
