Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours

This is a team taught class including the entire Theater and Dance faculty. We will focus on all major aspects of how a theatrical production is actualized, with special attention on how comprehensive text analysis leads to artistic choices. The course will cover design collaboration, an overview of production implementation (sets, costumes and lights) and the rehearsal process (staging, coaching, and stage management). As a final project, students will present short plays in the Little Theater . (This course is limited to first year students, and is highly recommended for those planning to take THEA 100: Acting 1, offered second semester.)  Enrollment Limit: 42.
