THR 3550 - Theatre Arts Capstone Seminar

Credits: 4

This capstone course, taken in the fall of the student’s junior year, provides students with opportunities to investigate their areas of interest in theatre in depth and create an actionable plan for their performance pieces, designs, stage management documents, academic papers, and dramaturgy, that will be manifested during their senior year. The class will assist the students in preparing the archival evidence necessary for professional portfolios to represent themselves in the workplace. Students will also develop a career plan in order to map out a path for employment, graduate school, or further training upon completion of their degree. The capstone course seeks to instill the process of inquiry, research, and meaningful self-reflection into a practical project that explores the art of theatre.
