Program Details
Technical Theater, Certificate of Achievement
New Program
Technical Theater (100600)
01/16/24
Technical Theater is a specialized program that teaches the fundamentals of producing the visual and aural elements of both live and recorded programs. Students learn stage carpentry and metal fabrication, scenic art, scenic design, property design and fabrication, electrics, lighting design, costume construction and design, and management. This program is hands on and offers students opportunities to work on actual productions and to be a critical member of the production team.
Program Outcomes
- Identify threats, errors, and undesired states that lead to accidents and make conscious decisions to mitigate those risks.
- Plan and construct visual/aural production elements.
- Organize project tasks to meet deadlines.
- Modify production elements in response to changes in blocking, actor, or script revisions.
Two to five per year.
Program Proposal Attributes
- Certificate of Achievement: 16 or greater semester (or 24 or greater quarter) units (C)
To offer students pursuing a career in technical theater advanced training and preparation for varied employment opportunities. Students that take all of our technical theater courses do not have way to show to other institutions or future employers that they have received specialized training that is more specific than our AA-T degree. This puts them at a disadvantage when competing for spots in other advanced training programs or employment.
