Acting II provides students with further technique to hone their craft as actors. Building on the work in Acting I, students will apply their knowledge of character analysis and blocking to the staging of short plays. The course is individualized to address particular needs of students, and scene selections are made in order to address areas where students need to be challenged. By the end of the trimester, students will complete a monologue, a 10-minute play, and a social justice theater project.

Our technical theater program builds small worlds that allow the audience to suspend disbelief as a play unfolds. Walls and windows, doors and balconies—our crew creates them all, lending reality, or unreality, as the setting dictates. Similarly, our costume design program stitches together garments for period pieces and modern productions alike.
