Design & Technology
The world of Design & Technology is a rich and fascinating one. Incorporating the areas of costumes, scenery, properties, lighting, sound, and stage management, there is always a new set of challenges and artistic opportunities to explore backstage. Below you will find descriptions of each of these disciplines and links to help you learn more about each of them.
Costumes
The Costume Shop, located in FAC #306 & 307, is a fun and vibrant place where students have the chance to both design and create costumes for plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts.
Scenery & Properties
The Scene Shop, located in the Valley of FAC is a hands-on work space where students are able to become involved in all aspects of designing and constructing the sets for mainstage productions. Students may also be given the opportunity to design scenery and props for departmental shows themselves.
Lighting & Sound
The Electrics Shop, located in the wings of Russel Miller Theatre gives students the opportunity to design lighting and sound for Theatre & Dance productions, as well as learn how to hang and focus lighting instruments, program and run the lighting and sound boards and serve as electricians and master electricians.
Stage Management
What's up with the new website?
WKU is moving to a new web content management system. That means all new webpages for us. Please be patient as we rebuild our site. Take a look around at what we have now, and expect to see new pages added regularly. If you have an idea for a page, or see an error we need to correct, please contact our web mistress, Jennie Ingram at jennie.ingram@wku.edu.
