Theater Production (Period 2)

Theater Production is designed to introduce students to all aspects of creating a theatrical production from start to finish, from on stage to back stage and beyond.  Students will take on the various roles of theater practitioners throughout the course and demonstrate mastery of their job functions by the end of the year.  This course will directly intersect with the drama productions and spring musical, giving the class a chance to use their skills firsthand in full-scale productions presented to our community.  Students will leave this course with the knowledge and skills to continue a career in the theater field.

To be a great actor, one must understand how the director, stage manager, designers, crew, and house manager operate and what they are attempting to accomplish.  This must be said for all roles within one theater production – one must have a firm grasp of all the working parts around them and how each role contributes to the next.  Therefore, within this course, each student must experience each role and understand the connectivity between each facet.  Students will also be given the chance to hone in on particular roles of interest to them, and refine their work within that capacity.
