| This course may be repeated for credit. |
This course offers students the opportunity to participate in the fully-produced Mainstage Theater production each semester. Student performers will work under a faculty director, learning skills and techniques through a hands-on, project-based rehearsal process. Student stage managers will have the opportunity to lead or assist the rehearsal process, with faculty mentoring. Student assistant directors will hone their skills by close collaboration with the Mainstage director, providing valuable preparation for their own senior projects or future directing endeavors. Student dramaturges will embark in a variety of deep-research tasks and close-reading of the production materials and/or text(s), as guided by the instructor.
Assigned work done under faculty supervision in the department production program working toward the creation of the Mainstage Production. Students interested in enrolling in this class should audition for acting roles, or apply for stage management, dramaturge, or assistant directing positions. |
