an 8-Week masterclass in theater production and technical skills

This program taught students the theory and practical application of skills necessary to run a successful Theatre Production, but also translate well to other artistic and professional arenas. Industry veterans and seasoned theatre professionals proctored the courses and provide hands-on lessons as they navigate the program. So hands-on, in fact, that students put on a production of their own as a program capstone.
