Acceptable participation includes: Being a member of the cast, design team, stage management, run crew, costume or set construction teams, paint crew, or ushering staff. Any paid labor does not count towards participation. In the event that a student is unable to participate in any of the aforementioned capacities, an appropriate “significant contribution” will be prescribed by the faculty.
• Theatre majors will complete a senior capstone project, which will consist of a major creative contribution to a departmental production in the student’s area of emphasis. An accompanying written narrative will document the entire creative process of the project and serve as the student’s culminating statement on their course of study in the department.
