Theatre is the most collaborative art form, and it takes a team of designers to create a captivating environment. This class will teach basic performance design principles relating to scenic, lighting, costume, prop, and/or sound design. Students will creatively and thoughtfully design the environment of a show based on an analysis of a script.
