Stage Craft for Students in Grades 3-12
This very exciting course - NEW THIS SEASON!! - will engage students in the basics of prop and scenic design! Students will learn about concept, artistic interpretation, visual art, and more! They will begin the year by engaging in a series of fun artistic hands-on projects that will teach them the basic elements of theatrical stagecraft. As the year moves along, students will work with their instructor to actually help design, build, and paint the props and scenery that will actually be used in our main-stage shows!!! Students in this class will also have the opportunity to assist backstage during our main-stage shows as members of run crew, props masters/mistresses, spotlight operators, and more! This course is open to students ages 8-18.
This class meets 31 times during the 2024/25 school year. There is no class during 3xP Show Tech Weeks, on national holidays, or whenever NYC public schools are not in session.

Students who are enrolled Stage Craft will most likely join us for Tech Week in the Theatre, depending on the needs of the show and the roles assigned based on student availability. A separate Tech Week schedule will be sent out to students for each show and students will be able to sign up for spots on the crew based on their personal schedules and availability.
