Course Overview

This course provides students an opportunity to earn academic credit by working behind the scenes in support of the design and technical aspects of a theatre production being mounted per semester. Students will develop practical skill sets and an essential knowledge of the logistics required for the successful mounting of a stage production by working in one of its related areas: stage management, scenery, lighting, costumes, props, technical production.

The student’s specific assignment will be made by the theatre faculty and/or technical director at the beginning of each production taking into consideration each student’s experience, their educational needs, and the technical needs of each production.

The course is structured to entail continuous hands-on physical activity related to production-related work within and outside class hours, with reasonable accommodations being made for students with any physical limitations.

This course can be repeated without limit. It counts toward the Theatre Arts major/minor practicum requirement. Students who are not majors/minors are also welcome.

 

Permission of the instructor, gained through the assignment of a role behind the scenes ahead of the semester’s add/drop period during the first week.
