Throughout the more than seventy years of its existence, the basic concept of The Theatre School has been intensive classroom instruction integrated with extensive production experience. All students enrolled in the TheatreSchool have continuing opportunities for practical theatre experience through the school’s intensive production program. Students also participate in the Workshop and Introduction to Performance presentations mounted for student and faculty viewing. Advanced technical and design students fulfill technical and design assignments in all aspects of the production season. Incoming students rotate through crew work on productions. Theatre Studies and Design/Tech students further their practical experience through internships and independent projects. These assignments are designed to expose them to the many components of a stage production.
