Tech Theatre Pathway

CATA Classes of 2028 and 2029: Since there is now a Technical Theatre track at CATA, we are giving you all the opportunity to declare the tech pathway or performance pathway as your area of focus. 

Tech Theatre Pathway students will still have acting courses with their performance peers (and are still able to perform in shows), but will need to take more technical theatre electives for their pathway completion. The required technical theatre courses will depend upon what the student's area of focus is/are (you can have up to two). These courses include but are not limited to Apparel II, Apparel III--Advanced Specialization, Technical Theatre II, Play Production Honors, 

Areas of focus can include:

• Costuming

• Lighting

• Props

• Production Management/Advertisement/Media

• Scenic Design

• Sound

• Stage Management

Tech Theatre Pathway students are also expected to be on at least one major running crew each semester--even if they are not in a tech theatre course for that semester.

If you are interested in applying for the Tech Theatre Pathway, please complete the form and required design/portfolio materials below no later than Friday, May 8, 2026 by 11:59 PM.
