3.00 Credits
This is a SAGES Capstone course designed to provide an opportunity for advanced Design/Technical Theater Undergraduates to undergo a thorough theatrical design experience as would expected in the professional theater. The project requires a specific play or performance piece to be chosen or assigned and researched thoroughly. The research would culminate in a production concept which should be presented in written and oral form with a great deal of visual support. The production concept leads to the design, either scenic, costume, lighting or sound, which then must be executed. In professional theater, execution first means preparing all of the drafting, renderings, and paperwork necessary for a production team to create the set or costumes, or prepare the necessary lighting or sounds equipment in the venue. The final portion of the design execution will be the performance of the actual piece on stage. It could be appropriate for a scenic or costume design project to be complete at this stage as the vast majority of the work must be done before the actual performance and the realization of the design is executed by a production team. Lighting and sounds designers must finish the execution of their designs in the technical rehearsal phase of production. Their work is dependent on integration with the other elements of production. However, theater is a collaborative art form, and the final execution of every design on stage is the ultimate goal of the designers, and when possible, it would be preferable to have every capstone project culminate in a fully realized production. Due to budget constraints and the logistics of allowing every design/technical senior to be able to participate in a fully realized production, students can choose to pursue a more research intensive project in which the student could study specific designers, movements in design or the development of technology in theatrical design. These projects would be presented in a more traditional oral presentation with visual support.

3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to theories of textual analysis and contextual research within the framework of theatrical performance. Students will investigate the history and methodologies of dramaturgy, and then apply the best practices of the profession to the study and production of contemporary plays. Because dramaturgy is a collaborative endeavor, students will participate with others in the production of a theoretical adaptation from a non-dramatic source, as well as the creation of an interdisciplinary theatre event and a multi-media performance project. By course end, students will be able to support their theatrical interests with dramaturgical insights and to work collaboratively to create productions that reflect the cultural and aesthetic diversity of the 21st century. Prereq: Senior standing.
