Interested in pursuing technical theatre or design in college? Join a panel of college theatre professors including Charlene Gross and Curtis Craig from Penn State University for a practical discussion about preparing a technical theatre portfolio for college applications, interviews, and portfolio reviews.
Learn what belongs in a portfolio, how to document your creative process and production work, and what college faculty look for when reviewing student portfolios. The discussion will explore how portfolios can vary across scenic, costume, lighting, sound, and props design. Whether you're just beginning to explore technical theatre or already have production experience, this webinar will help you better understand how to showcase your skills, creativity, and experience as you prepare for the future.
(Note that this discussion will NOT cover Stage Management - we will discuss that area of technical theatre later in October)
Webinar open to students, parents and teachers.
