College of Design, Art & Performance

Theatre Design

The theatre design concentration provides in-depth study and experience in costume, set, or lighting design. Students gain theoretical knowledge and develop their skills in design-based courses, such as Drafting and Computer-Aided Design, Costume Construction, Lighting Theory and Practice, and Architecture and Decoration.

Students are also encouraged to choose a secondary design area of study. The comprehensive core curriculum enables the design student to build a broad base of knowledge in theatre, covering performance, technical theatre, theatre history, and other areas.

As you progress through the curriculum, you form a close mentoring relationship with a faculty member in your area of specialization. After being admitted into the advanced design sequence, upper-level design students may have the opportunity to design a mainstage show.
