Technical Theatre Major Study
A major in Technical Theatre encompasses stage management, technical/production management and operation and creative practice in sound, lighting and audio-visual design. It is a program of study that is clearly differentiated from actor training on the one hand, and performance-making (directing, animateuring, devising) on the other. The Technical Theatre major is almost entirely prescribed, with the only elective options being 12credit points in the first year.
