The Technical Theatre program is a vocational training program for students who want to acquire the skills and techniques necessary for stage production and design execution.

The curriculum encompasses technical Theatre subjects and their underlying scientific and mathematical principles, in addition to basic design principles for scenery, lighting, costumes, and audio production.

Technical Theatre concepts and aesthetics are taught using standard traditional methods and contemporary teaching methods utilizing computer and state-of-the-art equipment.

School-based and professionally produced events in our 1100 seat concert hall and 500 seat Theatre provide our students with practical hands-on work experiences.

We want our students to have and develop those cognitive skills necessary to keep up, and more importantly contribute to a technologically and culturally advanced society.

We are looking for students who can benefit from and contribute to the exciting creative atmosphere we need to make our training program work.

Students seeking to learn technical Theatre are unique in their quest to combine design and technology, with an active appreciation for liberal arts, math, and science.

We believe there is a special relationship that exists between the performer and the technician that stand behind them. This valued relationship has been, and continues to be, a fundamental step in the artistic process.
