Theater

New Vista's Theater classes include Theater Production, Acting, Advanced Acting, American Literature Drama: 1940-Present (taught as a musical theater class), Art for Social Change, Stagecraft, Theater 1 and Theater Improv.  

In the Theater Production class, students prepare and perform a full production for public performance.  The works we put on, in general, are not well known to American theater going audiences.  Plays for this class are selected for the opportunity they give students to explore social and historical issues, relationships between characters and different aspects of themselves.  Students participate in every aspect of the production, including acting, directing, set design and construction, sound and lighting, costuming and strike.
