Theatre technicians at Baylor take part in a wide variety of projects, from classwork to mainstage productions. Undergraduate designers fill many positions of responsibility for our mainstage shows, including stage managers, master carpenters and electricians, props masters, and even full-fledged technical directors. Undergraduates also do some heavy lifting in the area of mainstage design, and it is not uncommon to find undergraduate names among the lighting, makeup, costume, scenic, and sound designers for each show.

As with our acting program, the lack of a graduate design degree at Baylor means undergraduates need not compete against graduate students for significant formative design experience.

Here are some production still from our recent production of Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth. As you can see from the show page here, undergraduates served as the costume, lighting, makeup, and sound designers, as well as the stage manager and assistant technical director.

Our undergraduates produce many costume renderings, some of which are made for class projects and some of which get turned into beautiful costumes for our mainstage productions!

The wonderfully talented Lauren Tyler has designed numerous mainstages, workshops, and class projects.

Seth Gist, TD and scenic carpenter extraordinaire, has worked on several Baylor mainstages during his time with Baylor Theatre. Above you can see examples of his work, both in progress and completed pieces.

Undergraduates are fortunate in that they have the opportunity to study under true masters of the theatrical craft. Here you can see some examples of the work of our head lighting instructor, JoJo Percy.

A team composed of theatre majors recently put their talents to use in a fashion contest, winning first prize at Uproar Records' Project Greenway.
