Technical Theater

The technical theater class is designed to provide and develop the skills needed to succeed in the demanding world of technical theater. Working with a select group of Upper School students, the program explores technical theater from conceptual design work to the “nuts and bolts” that help make a production happen. Utilizing both hands-on applications as well as in-class projects, each student will be able to explore, expand, and realize his own creative potential. The course covers all aspects of backstage work, including stage lighting and carpentry; scenic, lighting, and costume design; stage management; operations; and fundamental sound design and engineering.
