Consider Theatre Arts And Technology for your class electives!

We have three new classes that may fulfill your requirements.

THTR 252. Theatrical Sound Design. 

This course introduces the process of developing sound design through analyzing a text and exploring how sound can shape the emotional landscape, enhance storytelling, and deepen audience engagement. Students will engage in practicing multiple foundational techniques focusing on research, sourcing of recordings, sound editing, manipulation, and composition. Students will then utilize these techniques through small class projects. Emphasis will be placed on the synergy of sound with the other design elements and how it serves the artistic vision of a production. The course covers the entire sound design process—from analysis to implementing the technical requirements for a production. Through practical exercises and design projects, students will gain hands-on experience in crafting sound for live theatre.

THTR 250. Theatrical Design Fundamentals. 

This introductory course provides a comprehensive overview of the theatrical design process, exploring the essential skills and techniques involved in creating the visual world of a production. Students will gain a solid understanding of the roles of various design disciplines, including scenic, lighting, costume, sound, and properties design. Through theoretical discussions, practical exercises, and case studies, students will develop an informed response to the text, a critical eye for design elements, and learn how to effectively communicate their design ideas to collaborators.

THTR 258 & 361. Stagecraft 
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.
