Course Description:
The NU Theatre Program offers courses designed to equip students with a solid understanding of the theatrical process in an atmosphere valuing individual growth. Students learn to work cooperatively as members of an ensemble, to appreciate the many arts of the theatre, and to focus their creative energies. While the training is geared toward students at all levels of experience, theatre is approached as a serious art form demanding commitment and dedication.
TECH THEATRE – Grades 9-12 (2-semester course)
Tech Theatre is a hands-on activities-based design class, which will focus on all aspects of technical theatre design and creation.

Students will be able to choose areas of interest as focus points throughout the year as they contribute to the productions presented by NU’s Performing Arts Department. This class requires five hours of out-of-class technical work per production.
