PRODUCTION DESIGN & TECHNICAL ARTS
Grades 6-8
Students learn the basic history and evolution of the Backstage elements that create theatrical magic. Based on the excerpted script of the selected play, they design a cohesive "Page to Stage" collection of Scenics, Costumes, Props, Lighting, Sound, and Special Effects (designs to be incorporated as much as possible in final presentation), and learn how to set-up and operate the stage equipment that supports and animates live performances.
​
Grades 9-12
The curriculum is expanded to include the students' choice of Production Setting (Time & Place), designing all elements to create a cohesive "Page to Stage" collection that reflects that choice, and fabricating all elements within a "shoe-string" budget.
