Program Overview
The Theatre Design and Technology program provides students with a comprehensive theatre education experience. Students take courses in multiple areas of theatrical design including: scenery, lighting, costume and sound. Additionally, students learn and practice the process of design from research to rendering to construction. The program stresses active involvement in all aspects of design and technology work outside the classroom. Design students serve as assistants to faculty designers and are given the opportunity to design and build Main Stage productions.
