Emphasis on production practices as well as roles in theater will be used to introduce the customs and conventions of theatrical art and management, such as acting, directing, and stage managing as well as design (costume, light, set and sound). In addition, the course introduces historical movements and theories in theater as a way of engaging with trends in new plays and productions. Students should expect to attend a live performance during the semester as well as engage with playscripts from both classical theater as well as new works.

Students will produce and present a play while they learn about key aspects of introductory theater. This course will examine the customs and conventions of theatrical art and management, such as acting, directing, and stage managing as well as design (costume, light, set and sound) by engaging first-hand in these practices. In addition, students will be introduced to historical theater movements and theory as a way of providing context for their own work. The class culminates in a live performance that is created, performed, stage managed and produced by the class. Theater production is not just acting, so students interested in behind-the-scenes work, design and other event management should consider this course. This class satisfies the core Fine Arts requirement.
