Design and Production

The Design and Production track offers focused concentrations in Set Design, Costume Design, Lighting Design, Projection Design, Sound Design and Stage Management. Our diverse community of Faculty and Students, representing a broad scope of identity and experience, work to tell stories as a way of speaking to our unique moment of historic challenge and change. We reevaluate the theatrical event, learning and growing through an experiential, hands-on curriculum, with an emphasis on curiosity, risk-taking and collaboration across all artistic disciplines. The first two years of the program provide the foundations of theater-making, with an emphasis on conceptual thinking and visual story-telling. Contemporary and classic texts are analyzed and interrogated. Historical perspectives are always contextualized and rigorously reexamined. Focused upper-level courses hone the skills of all Management and Design disciplines.

Design and Production students have numerous opportunities to work with peer and professional collaborators. In our student-produced studio shows, and our professionally directed and designed mainstage productions, we develop the collaboration skills that will become the framework for an evolving creative practice.

Graduating students in the Design and Production track represent their efforts in the annual Design and Production Showcase and Showcase Website, sharing their work and experiences with professional directors, designers, managers and producers.

Our faculty are working theater-makers who offer a wide range of experience, inspiration and opportunity.

  • The Design and Production track encourages students to understand and critically examine the component elements of a theatrical production, and thoroughly explore the processes through which those elements are brought to the stage. Design and Production students work to develop foundational core “Practices”:

    • Collaboration: The commitment to work with others and willingly exchange ideas and practices through open communication. 
    • Risk: Expressing enthusiasm for exiting a comfort zone, in an effort to explore the unknown, with a willingness to fail.
    • Engagement: The full immersion in the work and willingness to dive into wider artistic questions, promote spaces of active conversation, and utilize artisanship as citizenship.
    • Accountability: The responsibility to hold ourselves to our community values in order to create a positive, caring, and conscientious artistic and academic environment.
    • Adaptation: The ability to respond and change to the current circumstances of the program, the university, and the world at large.
