Theater Arts

Members of the tech crew are integral to Visitation's theater productions. From stage manager, to tech crew, Visitation students take ownership of the costumes, scenery, props, lights, and sound. These students use their skills and talents to make each production a success.

In addition to the hands-on performance experience, students may take the Theater Craft and Performance course, designed to give students a background in basic theater technology and performance. During the first half of the semester-long course, students study the history of the theater and its components, with a focus on specific areas of the theater, with students learning all aspects of lighting, sound, costuming, scenic design and construction, props, and make-up. During the second half of the semester students learn how to choose and develop characters, and perform monologues and scenes in class. The in-class performance at the end of the semester features scenes and monologues rehearsed during the course.
