Bachelor of Applied Arts in Theatre and Interpretation - Design and Technical Theatre

Program Overview

Make your mark from behind the scenes with design and technical theatre. You'll learn how to build the spectacle of live performance through costumes, props, sound design, staging, lighting and more. 

Beyond the classroom, you'll have opportunities to participate in dozens of performances a year. You can even get paid for working in our on-campus scene and costume shop. All that experience means you'll graduate with a full résumé, ready for a career in theatre production, costuming and beyond. 

Why chose design and technical theatre?

You'll first study the foundations of live performance as a theatre and interpretation major. Then, you'll dive deeper into the aspects of theatre that match your interests and career goals with one of two concentrations: acting and directing or design and technical theatre.

Design and technical theatre help bring performances to life. Sound, lighting, scenery, costumes and props all help make the world of theatre feel more real for audiences.

In the classroom, you’ll work closely with experienced faculty and staff who go the extra mile to make sure you succeed. You’ll also partner with guest artists who bring professional insights from the world of directing, acting, design and more.

As a design and technical theatre student, you’ll also have extraordinary opportunities for real-world experience. We present some 25 productions a year, including both mainstage and studio productions. 

Our touring summer theatre program even gives you the chance to experience traveling repertory theatre first hand—while earning pay and college credits. Many of our students also compete in national conventions or take on internships with theatre companies across the country.
