Technical Theatre Assignments

In this course students will learn and understand how to use and implement a variety of power and hand tools. They will be introduced to all aspects of technical theatre including: Scenic, lighting, makeup and costume design; as well as stage management, dramaturgy and organization. A majority of class time will be spent designing and building sets for upcoming shows. Students will get a hands-on experience in all areas. They will be given chances to create original designs and are expected to have original ideas and implementation of those ideas. Please note that safety is expected and any blatant disregard may result in removal from the scene shop for the remainder of the year. In order to assure safety, the class is only available to those who have received a Pass on all safety and tool tests. This class is a CSU/UC approved class. Therefore, we place a large amount of responsibility on students, including having to lock and unlock our spaces. Throughout the course you must prove you are capable of this responsibility.
