With faculty and staff who are working professionals and artists, the scenic program prepares students for success in a variety of theatre industry environments. <br>Scenic design and technology students are mentored to become leaders in full-scale productions while at Baylor, developing hands-on ability in research, visual communication, artistry, and collaboration. <br>The Theatre Design and Technology major is ideal for students who wish to pursue careers in set design, costume design, lighting design, or technical design. Students work with the Theatre Arts production crews and can select a focus within the design categories. This helps them build their portfolio throughout their time at Baylor. The department produces about 8 full productions each year. The productions vary from Shakespeare to pop musicals. All productions are performed in full by theatre students.
