This class will focus on the different elements of theatre that exist off stage, looking at each through the lens of design. Specific design units include set, lighting, sound, and costume design; as well as theatre safety and building & stage construction. In addition to projects done within class, students may have the opportunity to help setup and facilitate various performances held in our auditorium throughout the year.
