HCC is fortunate to have a Certified Teacher with the Society of American Fight Directors on the faculty. Jenny Male, assistant professor of theatre and coordinator of musical theatre, is the only woman in Maryland with these credentials. Students of her introduction to Stage Combat course learn basic styles and partnering techniques while creating a safe environment to portray a character in a fight performance. 12 Pathways | Howard Community College Fall 2011
