THTR 1021 Theatre Production Lab II: Scenery and Paint Prep

The Scenery Construction and Scenic Paint Prep Lab will introduce students to the skills necessary to construct, rig, and load-in scenery; layout and paint scenery; be introduced to the variety of tools and techniques used in scene painting and construction. Skills will be developed in construction techniques that include wood working, metal working, fabric manipulation, and rigging, design layouts, painting on large scale, and more. Safety procedures that relate to these areas will be taught and practiced. The work that students do will vary and will be determined by that student's individual abilities and interest, as well as the needs of the specific production that we are working on. No previous experience is required. Students will complete 36 hours of lab work over the course of the semester and must proactively schedule weekly hours with the course instructor.
