This children's theatre Interim is for theatre, education, and art majors, and all other students interested in learning how to produce children's theatre from script selection to performance.
Students examine the different models of children's theatre and their theoretical underpinnings.

Successful completion of the course entails attending all designated lectures, rehearsals, and crew calls, satisfactory participation on all crews, plus completing a resource guide of children's theatre plays, and a production manual.
