TH 190 Introduction to Backstage with Lab

(2 Credits)
This course introduces students to backstage professions and the practices of technical theater. The course will use readings, guest lectures from working theater artists, hands-on instruction and practical projects to reveal the many layers of a realm that stays mostly hidden from the view of the audience but is essential to the art of theater. Students will have the opportunity to work backstage with an Arcadia theater production, and build a foundation of experience and practical knowledge that can be applied to a range of performance and storytelling contexts. The course lab provides opportunities for students to apply training to hands-on work in Arcadia’s scene and costume shops, and as crew members for Arcadia Theater productions.
