Our '24-'25 Season!
Consider Theatre Arts And Technology for your class electives!
We have three new classes that may fulfill your requirements.
THTR 256. Theatrical Set Design. 3 credits, 3 contact hours (3;0;0).
This course is an introduction to the basic components of set, scenic art, and lighting design for the theatre. The students will create scale models of the set of plays chosen by the instructor. Research on the theatre spaces, concepts of the visual movement of the characters throughout the story, and a conceptual evaluation of the scripts will be examined to create the designs.
THTR 258. Stagecraft I. 3 credits, 4 contact hours (2;2;0).
This lecture/workshop trains students in the technical aspects of mounting theatre productions and events. Participants will learn stagecraft using equipment such as shop tools, lighting instruments, audio and video design as required. The training curriculum is adapted to meet the needs of each semester's specific productions. The course can be taken to fulfill a Theatre Core requirement or as an elective.

The content of this course is primarily literary. It examines the original texts that are used for theatrical adaptations in contemporary Broadway and Off-Broadway musicals.
