Introduction to Theater

As an introduction to theatre, students become acquainted with the history  of the theatre and various significant plays. Areas of technical production, such as make up, lighting, costuming, and set design are studied. Students  will encounter contemporary acting practices, guided by well-founded theological anthropology, and solidified through the performance of monologues and ensemble performance. Participation in extracurricular theater performance is recommended but is not required or guaranteed. Students can take this course multiple times, with additional credits being granted as Advanced Theater.
