It's a common misconception that all "theatre" people are actors. The fact of the matter is that more men and women make their living in the theatre offstage than on it! These people are a part of the technical side of theatre. We're talking about directors, choreographers, stage managers, set designers, lighting designers, costume designers, makeup designers, backstage run crew, box office personnel, etc. Their contributions to theatre are just as important as any actor's!
Last month, third through fifth graders studied several aspects of theatre design - costume, makeup, set, and advertisement. The then created their own fairy tale and designed a theatre production based on it. The following pictures are some of my favorite products from these classes!
Enjoying these last few days of the school year!
