THEATRE APPLIED
LESSONS
Theatre Majors, Minors, and non-majors
may sign up for these specialty courses with permission from the Chair
of the Theatre Department. All courses will not be offered each semester
and will be need-based. Due to the specialized nature of our field and
the diverse areas we cover as artists, we are not always able to fill
our upper level courses with eight to ten students. These Applied Lessons
will enable the students to get the specialized advanced training when
these upper level courses cannot be offered.
