Theatre Design & Technology
This is a UC Approved, a-g year-long course.
Together, we will be embarking on a journey of exploration that I hope will be gratifying for all. In order for everyone in the class to have an enriching and engaging experience, there are certain expectations that need to be followed.
-
This class is a safe space for everyone! Hateful or hurtful comments will not be tolerated.

Every student is required to see at least one theatrical performance per semester. These theatrical performances include:
