Stage Technician

CTE Stagecraft Pathway

In this two-course CTE Stagecraft pathway, students develop a comprehensive set of technical theatre skills through hands-on learning and creative problem-solving. They gain experience in scenic design and construction, learning how to safely build, paint, and move sets and scenery. Students explore lighting, sound, and projection design, including programming and operating industry-standard hardware and software to enhance storytelling on stage. They also manage props, costumes, and backstage operations while applying principles of organization, teamwork, and time management. Additionally, students learn key aspects of production management, budgeting, and marketing—preparing them for future work in live event production, theatre, and related technical fields.
