Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Are you looking for a class where you earn credit for doing something you enjoy? Are you wanting a hands-on class -- a class to work with wood, power tools, and hand tools? A class to work on construction? Can you be a collaborative,independent, self-directed learner and participant? Do you want to paint, build, design, and create? Do you want to learn how the magic happens on the stage? Then Stagecraft I is your natural choice. The aim of this class is to learn construction safety, tool working, design techniques, basic rigging, basic lighting and scenic painting, and basic execution of design, all while working to complete a large-scale project that your peers will use as they perform the productions of the year.The students in this class will work as a team on the final product of constructing the three-dimensional, working structures for the main stage theatre productions for each term. Students will be working toward primary certification in shop safety, construction, rigging, lighting, and/or sound.
