Practical experience with theatre development and production or at least one college level course in theatre is required.

This course examines alternative structures for devising original youth theatre productions, as well as pedagogical principles and practical activities beyond those explored in earlier courses in the certificate program. Students apply their advanced skills through a course project, working with forty young people ages 14-18. These young people are drawn from schools in all boroughs of New York City and from the CAT (Creative Arts Team) Youth Theatre, and become members of a theatre company with which students will devise and rehearse an original theatrical production.

This course is offered in association with the Paul A. Kaplan Center for Educational Drama of the CUNY Creative Arts Team.
