About this camp
Step out of the audience and into the control booth in this immersive, hands-on deep dive into the technical wizardry that makes theater happen. Designed for builders, makers, engineers, and artists—this camp gives you the keys to the scene shop and the Fine Arts stage.
Over one intensive week, you won’t just learn about production; you will physically build a show from the ground up using university-level equipment.
Master professional shop safety and use power tools to build flats, craft props, and construct a physical set. Then, learn to paint with light and integrate video elements to set the mood and atmosphere. Explore the audio tools used to create immersive soundscapes.Finally, after an intensive rotation through the Scene Shop, Lighting Grid, and Sound Booth, you’ll combine your set pieces, lighting designs, and audio cues to build a fully realized environment on the Fine Arts stage during the last two days of camp.
