Students will learn technical stagecraft techniques and the basics of theater management. Students may be exposed to design practices in all 5 disciplines: lights, sounds, set, costumes and props. They will have the opportunity to create a production from conception to performance and applying their classroom instruction in a production setting. This is an after school class which meets in the evenings. Theatre Production students work alongside our Stagecraft students (Advanced Drama students).
