THEA 4851 INT - Design/Tech/Management Practicum

Credits: (1)
Typically Taught Fall Semester: Full Sem
Typically Taught Spring Semester: Full Sem
Description: Hands on learning through involvement backstage on running crews, through studio work, acting in, or involvement in “front of house” operations for Weber State Theatre productions.

To become a well-rounded theatre student, students are required to participate in the production of the departmental plays as often as their schedule allows. Since there are so many different learning opportunities in the theatre it is though Practicum that they are each exposed to the whole production process. There are 2 different Practicum course numbers, one for performance and the other for the design, technical, and management aspects of theatre. The course numbers stay the same from semester to semester but the content; the plays produced changes each time. Minimally students are required to enroll in a Practicum course 3 times to graduate, however since students are expected to be involved in the production of each play (2 per semester) then they should be completing 4 Practicums each academic year.
The maximum time a student can repeat this or any combination of THEA 4851 and THEA 4861 for credit is sixteen times.
