Post Production Discussions

An informal discussion of every University Theatre production will take place during the week following strike.  These discussions are a time to consider process as well as product and all interested parties are invited.  Discussion time and location will be posted on the Theatre Callboard.  All members of the production company are expected to attend the post-production “talk-back.”

Practicum

An essential component of Theatre’s academic program, production work serves as the laboratory where technical skills and theories are put into practice.A concurrent requirement for many Theatre classes, Practicum is credit taken for specific production positions.  The Practicum requirement may be fulfilled by registering for one of the following:

Cast Practicum- must be cast in a Mainstage production to be eligible. Each production will place unique demands on the actor and will involves a collaborative process of approximately 6-8 weeks in length.  This process must be somewhat flexible to address the specific needs of each production.  Requires Consent of Instructor waiver.

Crew Practicum- a variety of production positions are available on building and run crews.  Advanced students may request crew head positions.  Students must have approval of the instructor to register for crew practicum.

Scene Shop Practicum- 40 hours of supervised work in the scene shop are required over the course of the semester.  Hours are established with students to accommodate class and work schedules.

Costume Shop Practicum- 40 hours of supervised work in the costume shop are required over the course of the semester. Hours are established with students to accommodate class and work schedules.

Please Note:  Each major or minor emphasis in Theatre requires a specific combination of Practicum credits.  Be sure to consult with an academic advisor regularly.
