ABOUT THE CLASS
Stagecraft is a hands on technical theatre course where students explore the creative and practical disciplines that transform an empty stage into a fully realized production. Students gain experience in scenic design and construction, lighting, sound, costumes, props, and stage management while learning how each department contributes to the storytelling process.
Stagecraft empowers students to become designers, technicians, problem solvers, and collaborators - the artists who make the impossible possible onstage.
“A stage setting is not a background; it is an environment.”
- Robert Edmond Jones
