Practicum: Technical Theatre

1-2 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

These production labs involve experiential learning tied to scenic, costume and run crew areas as supervised by TPST faculty and staff. Majors must complete three graded credits of this class across different areas with the goal of developing a well-rounded, technically-responsible grasp of theater-making and roles, as well as cohort. Minors are required to take a single credit of any section. These supervised production labs connect to our TPST Home Season in the Davis Center, supervised by the Davis Center's Professional Production Staff. For majors, the three credits are typically filled by single credits over different semesters, however runcrew can be fulfilled by the two-credit stage management option, and, with approval, students may enroll in more than one section a semester. The Scenic and Costume Shop Practicums meet for regular weekly scheduled class times, typically for three hours; the mandatory runcrew assignment meets intensively (on weekends and evenings) for three to four weeks of the semester, only, tied to a show in the TPST Season.
