This program is open to students of all experience levels, and each student’s schedule will be tailored to their own goals and interests. With opportunities in Scenic Design, Lighting Design, Costume Design, Sound Design, and Stage Management, students will learn to present their ideas and collaborate with other artists to transport audiences into the worlds of their shows. Each student will act as an Associate Designer on one of our mainstage productions, receiving one-on-one mentorship and actively participating in every step of the process while building relationships with our network of industry professionals. Students will also have the chance to create their own designs with other students in the program to showcase their work. This unique crash-course in theatrical production will prepare students to dive deeper into design in not only theatre, but also film, television, video games, and more!

Students will be required to have a mentorship meeting at least once a week with program instructor and/or designer. Please note that students will have different schedules based on the show/designer/track they are assigned to, with varying, non-consistent hours.
