Joining together amateurs and professionals, technology and tradition, the College encourages the development of excellence in a broad range of artistic expressions.
In 1998 Shelton State and Theatre Tuscaloosa founded The Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame to honor Alabamians, by birth and adoption, who have made significant contributions to film, television, or theatre.
