Do advanced students have to have production credit?

Yes.  Each semester, Advanced Theatre Students and Tech Students 
must fulfill the production requirement by working crew or performing in 
one of our many opportunities.  THE TEKS (TEXAS ESSENTIAL 
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS) REFERS TO THIS AS PRACTICAL 
APPLICATION OF PERFORMANCE/PRODUCTION SKILLS.

Why?

It is the practical application of skills learned in class. PROCESS IS 
VERY IMPORTANT BUT PRODUCT IS THE CULMINATION OF THE 
LEARNING PROCESS IN PRODUCTION.   "You would not 
expect to be in band or choir and never perform in a concert."

WHY CAN'T I WEAR FLIP FLOPS?

SAFETY.  WE WORK/TEACH/REHEARSE IN A THEATRE SPACE 
WHERE WE BUILD SETS AND WE USE SCREWS/NAILS AND 
SOMETIMES MAKE SPLINTERS.  ALSO, THE FLIP FLOP SHOE 
ARRIVES AFTER THE ACTOR AND DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE 
STAGE MOVEMENT ASPECT OF THIS CLASS.

What's the difference between a Company and a Chorus?

A company refers to the entire group of actors, leads, chorus or super 
numeraries and technical crew.  The term chorus comes from the 
Greeks.  These are typically smaller speaking or singing  roles but very 
important to the entire production as they support the plot and help to 
create the world of the play.
