Fall Courses and Cancellations

Hello all – Because of lower overall enrollment at RIC, the administration has established that classes will need a higher number of students in order run. As a result, the Theatre department has had a number of courses cancelled. If you are looking for a class to replace a cancelled course, we are presently trying to hold on to the following courses: THTR 217 (Stage Management—with Nicole Frechette Shaw) THTR 228 (Basic Design—with Katryne Hecht) THTR 411 (Technical Direction—with Alan Pickart) THTR 418 (Scenic Painting – with Katryne Hecht) A specific word about Technical Direction and Scenic Painting: THTR 411 is Technical Direction, with a major component being video and green screen design. THTR 418 is Scenic Painting, which is looking to design a mural for the Alumni hall outside of Sapinsley. And of course, both Stage Management and Basic Design teach vital skills that would benefit any theatre major. You don’t need the pre-requisites to take these courses – just let Bill Wilson know if you wish to sign up. (!!Please do it FAST – we must cancel more classes on Friday!!)
