Year One
The first year of the training cycle emphasizes and establishes a substantial foundation of knowledge and skill in all of the production areas of scenic construction, properties, electrics, and audio, as well as CAD and computer skills, management techniques, and the distinctions of professional theatrical practice. Classroom work is combined with production assignments on two to four classic plays.
Year Two
Second year classroom work concentrates on advanced topics in the various areas of technical production. Production assignments increase in quantity as well as level of responsibility in approximately four to six productions that are selected from the classic repertoire.
Year Three
The third year focuses almost entirely on production activity with approximately ten to twelve plays produced, sometimes including revivals of productions from the previous two years. Classroom work is limited to a seminar that explores advanced topics that are selected on the basis of student needs and requests.
