PERFA 152 - Making Theatre: One Act Plays

Upper Division

This course creates opportunities to act, direct, dramaturg, design and/or serve as stage crew in an evening-length program of short plays. Students receive individual mentoring and production support, while working as part of a creative ensemble to bring a script from the page to public performance. For full-credit students, a weekly roundtable (with assigned readings and a research project) deepens the studio-based investigations of rehearsals. The course culminates in an annual festival of one-act plays, performed for a campus audience. Open to all interested students; an audition or interview is required. Please note, this course counts as an upper-division elective in the Theatre majors or minor only when taken for a full credit.
