From staging Broadway blockbusters in Musical Theatre to hands on learning in Technical Theatre, LACSHA Interdisciplinary Arts represent the very best in artistic collaboration.

TECHNICAL THEATRE

The LACHSA Technical Theatre Track is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of stagecraft and the requisite skills necessary to successfully pursue a career in technical theatre. The program centers on six areas of concentration: lighting, sound, scenery, costumes, props and stage management. Curricular sequencing for the program spans three years with students advancing each year in their knowledge and technical capabilities.

Each semester focuses on four different units. Units on scenery, lighting design and sound design are consistent through the three year curricular sequencing with additional units on costuming, props and theatre management. Year three is structured to permit a capstone thesis project by the students.
