Encouraging Applications From: All Students with an interest in theater arts

Team: Tereena, Amanda, Blanche

Course Description: The purpose of this course is to provide students with the opportunity to survey various aspects of theatre performance and production development from first thought to the final strike. Activities will be designed so that students can learn the production process and production roles and responsibilities. They will also have the opportunity to explore different genres, conduct script analysis, participate in cold and staged readings. The ultimate goal is to provide students with the complete guided experience, but also to allow them the time and space for self-discovery throughout the process. Students will also participate in trips to broadway and off broadway shows, as well as performance/production workshops. By the end of the course, students will have the opportunity to apply the concepts they learned by working in groups to research, create, and execute a production.
