THTR 1014 Theatre Production Lab I: Electrics Run

The Theatre Production Run Labs will introduce students to the skills necessary to rehearse and perform the technical duties needed to produce a stage production. Through actual hands-on practice, students will be allowed to develop their abilities in the areas of theatre production related to stage lighting control, follow-spot operation and performance needs. Students will work on a departmental production during the semester. The work that students do on that production will vary by student and will be determined by the needs of the production and may evolve during rehearsal. Students may do multiple labs in a semester but they must be in different areas.
