Grades: 8th-12th

Details
Stagecraft puts the focus on the behind the scenes elements that go into producing a musical and allows students to get hands-on experience of production elements. Students will learn and practice skills in lighting, costuming, scenic, sound, props, make-up, and stage management to get a feel for the many different design aspects that create theatre magic!
Stagecraft students will put their learned skills to work on projects for current productions and will be the first to be offered volunteer positions on production teams for future shows. Whether you’re a young actor looking to get a new perspective of the stage or a student interested in pursuing a position on a theatre production team, this is the program for you!
