Your arc of production training should look like this:

1. 314M Intro to Technical Theatre - an introduction to the skills and techniques used in technical theatre and the practice-based art form of producing productions.

2. 314P Production Laboratory - participating as a crew member on a live production that will establish habits of discipline, collaborative team work and creative problem solving.

Note: for some students, this sequence will be reversed, so 314P precedes 314M.

3. 324P Advanced Production Lab - Participating as a member of one of our production shops to further learn the skill and craft of building and installing a production. (TD 314M is the prerequisite)

Note: UTeach Theatre majors must take TD 314Q Production Shop in the spring.

4. 324P Advanced Production Lab - as a further experience it is our goal that you will grow in your experience and will be able to assume a role of more responsibility in the shop of your choice or in an advanced production position. Examples would include, but not limited to: dramaturg, assistant director, assistant designer, master electrician, wardrobe supervisor, audio coordinator, etc. Please contact Rusty Cloyes to discuss any non-shop positions.

Each degree plan has their own requirements, so please make sure you clarify with Mark-Anthony about which of these classes you will be taking.


I tried to register for a Production Lab that reads as open but it gives me an error message, what do I do?

This means the remaining seats are reserved for certain students who need to take it in order to graduate in a timely manner.  You’re welcome to add yourself to the waitlist.  For instructions on how to add to a waitlist, please refer to the Wiki page: Registration & Waitlist Examples.


MORE DETAILS

*The 314P Production Lab run crews will only meet in-person all together on the first scheduled day of class (TBD 5:30pm - 7:30pm) to discuss class expectations, lab hours, and production assignments.  
Production assignments will be assigned early in the semester.  Most students will serve as a crewmember for one production.  
     Production crew assignments typically run for three consecutive weeks; 6 days a week; 5:30-10:30pm Monday-Friday, 10:00am-10:30pm on Saturdays; and Noon-10:30pm on Sundays.  You will be required to attend all technical rehearsals and performances for your assignment so plan to clear your schedule for the entire assignment.  Prior to the first crew call, you will receive an updated schedule based on your assigned position that reflects which days you will have off. At the end of the semester, you will submit a written reflection on your experience.  

Note: The course schedule does not allow us to schedule a class on a Sunday, but there will be rehearsals and performances on Sundays.


The 324P Advanced Production Lab / 314Q Production Shop sections
are separated into multiple sections: media technology, scenic & property technology, lighting technology, costume technology and sometimes sound technology. These 324P sections meet every MWF for the full semester and will have an instruction segment led by faculty and hands-on application working on our productions.
