Stage Management

   The stage management curriculum is an intensive three-year conservatory
training program. Students follow an integrated curriculum in which all
subjects are directly related and in which no course is optional. Students
in stage management are expected to develop technical proficiency in
professional rehearsal and performance practices and techniques,
communication skills, technical theatre skills, and management skills. The
curriculum emphasizes frequent public performance in predominately classic
plays produced in a wide variety of theatrical styles and genres, with
continual studio work on the development of skill leading to artistry.
