Set Design for Stories

Students will use their favorite story to design their theatre production with their own point of view. We will explore storyboarding, character and costume design, and model building during 1 or 3 design sessions.

School Age Studio is available on select School District of Philadelphia (SDP) half-days/early dismissals and full days off, we offer a hands-on, project-based design workshop that allows students to be designers in a studio. Students will learn the design process through activities and exercises to design and build a project individually and/or as a team. Each studio introduces how we see design everywhere and projects based on one or more design disciplines.
