An introduction to the art and practice of lighting and sound design for the theater.

In addition to class time students are required to complete 24 hours of light prep crew -- this is an extension of the class where students will learn how to hang and focus lights, read a light plot, and work as a lighting team on the Theater Department main stage productions.

This course is limited to first-year students.; Prereq: 4 credits in the department.
