Theatre Tour Group Members of this auditioned troupe collaborate to produce works suitable for young audiences. Technical Theatre Students learn the basic techniques of set constructions by hands-on experience with mainstage production. Students can also participate on the many crews needed to run mainstage shows. Stage Craft Students become integral to the success of mainstage production by heading construction, lighting and sound crews. Students are required to work at least one mainstage production each semester.
Areas of concentration are prop construction, advanced scenic painting and lighting design.
Advanced students take responsibility as crew heads and designers of scenic elements, props, furniture and lighting. Stage management is learned and practiced at this course level. The course is a year-long study of playwriting and directing techniques, using selective historical and modern theatrical and cinematic works as sources to generate original projects. The course culminates in students' staging of their own original plays or adaptations. All members of mainstage musical productions are enrolled in this class.
