Theater production, the designing of each aspect of the stage environment, is essential to the creation of effective theatrical arts. Developing an eye and ear for creating stage pictures, color palettes, and soundscapes aids in layering meaning to any theatrical piece. This class allows students to apply the principles of design and visual art to a dramatic context.
In this course, students learn the fundamentals of all elements of theater production, including the study of lighting design, sound design, stage design, costuming, and more. Students demonstrate their skills by creating production elements that are utilized in the Fall Play and Winter Musical. Advanced students can take on leadership roles as lead designers. This course provides excellent preparation for the IB SL or HL Theatre class.
