Technical Theatre Major
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 12 credit points of elective options available.
