Stagecraft Pathway

Students will receive an introduction to drama as they focus on theatre appreciation through vocabulary, theatre history, and an understanding of backstage elements such as scenic construction, light board operation, sound board operation, costuming and makeup along with safety procedures for each and OSHA certification for construction sites. Students will also be introduced to basic acting styles to help create a well-rounded understanding of theatre arts on stage and backstage.

This second course is designed to help students further evolve their understanding of acting, and technical production with the inclusion of design and short productions. Stagecraft units include increasingly hands on projects related to various aspects of theatre, and increased time and projects in the scenic shop.

This class is designed for hard working and motivated students. In this class students have the flexibility to dedicate their time and studies to particular areas of interest within theatre. Students will be provided with the guidance and resources to ultimately craft their skills in a targeted area.

This course utilizes Diversified Cooperative Education (DCE) methodology, one teacher responsible for students within multiple program areas, to combine school-based and supervised work-based learning experiences related to the standards identified for the Stagecraft Program.
