The run is usually over a four day period with one matinee at 10 AM., specifically for faculty and staff viewing. Unsupported Workshops are staged in various spaces in The Theatre School buildings or in the Athaneum Stage 3 Theatre without the services of scenery or costume designers. Supported Workshops are also performed in the Theatre School building in room 403 and have designers assigned to the extent that they are available. Production elements are kept simple under stringent limitations, relying upon the available stock of the school. Detailed guidelines are available from the staffs of the various shops of the school, including what space, hours, stock, and equipment will be at the disposal of a Supported Workshop.
Set designers are responsible for all props.
Lighting designers are responsible for the hang, focus and strike of all lighting equipment used. Sound requirements are submitted to the Production office. Each director, working with a stage manager, the designers, and the cast, is responsible for the orderly and secure strike of a production immediately after its final production. In instances where designers are not assigned to Supported Workshops, the Director, working with the Stage Manager, provides the necessary production elements, under supervision, drawing upon the school's stock with permission of the responsible staff. As soon as this information is posted, designers must obtain a script and consult with their director.
