Stagecraft is this perfect class for those wanting to learn the more technical aspects of theatre. This is still a beginning class so most people only take it once but students still learn a variety of things that are needed in the technical world of theatre. In this class there are different levels to what students learn. Some of these include costuming, building sets, learning sound & light designs, and even some makeup and hair. This is the perfect for those who still love theatre but have a lot of stage-fright and care more about helping to put on a show rather then act in a show. Overall this is a great class for people who are more interested in the backstage aspects of theatre! This class if offered during period one. (Grades 9-12)
