THE 250 - Theatre Production Workshop

(3 credits)

135 practicum hours
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor via audition and/or interview
THE 250 is an intense practicum focused on the art and craft of theatre design and production. The course provides students an opportunity to participate in faculty-directed, department-sponsored productions. A typical rehearsal process requires approximately three hours rehearsal, three to five nights per week, for six to eight weeks, plus six performances. Participation will be defined as theatrical performance as well as theatre design and production, including directing, costuming, lighting, make-up, management, scenery, safety, sound, and rigging techniques and practices. Students will work toward the creation of one substantial production with all the supportive elements necessary to stage a performance for public presentation. Students will not be permitted to earn concurrent credit for THE 250 and DAN 250 when participating in a single production unless special permission is granted by the production director. The course may be repeated for up to six credits.
