Technical Theatre II

This course leads students to develop an intermediate understanding of technical theatre and theatrical design. Students continue to develop practical skills in the design and execution of scenery, lighting, sound, make-up, and costumes. This course may also introduce students to the fundamentals of metalwork and welding, while further developing knowledge of the components, tools, and theory of technical theatre. Coursework applies intermediate techniques of design, drafting, and set construction, focusing on computer design software in all technical areas. Practical experience is gained through the design, construction, and maintenance of theatre production sets and facilities.

Additional Expectations: Some time outside of course is required. Students must complete 15 Tech Hours per semester, and are required to participate in at least one backstage crew for a VCT production over the course of the school year.
