The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
So I'm back here with Thomas for still here, and he's going to talk a little bit about the classes that you have to go through is a theater major again. Theater is such a big major here, so moving a lot of you watching our theater majors, and I hope this is helpful. If you're not a theater major, feel free to skip past this part. So when it comes to the curriculum here as a freshman, you're not able to take any legitimate acting courses As of yet, you have to wait until your sophomore year to take acting one. Your freshman year, it's usually the most common to take stagecraft, aesthetics and lighting and then theater in society. What Muilenburg really tries to do with this is to get you a grander understanding of what happens in our society in relation to theater and what happens behind the scenes. If you're someone who's only ever really been on the stage performing, you might not have had much experience with the backstage. What really goes into creating a show and stagecraft, ascetics and lighting really gets into that. A lot of a lot of the vocabulary when it comes to lighting and lighting instruments and working backstage in all those sort of things. Theater in society really focuses on the impact that theater has on society as a whole and throughout history as well, how it's worked. When it comes to the actual technique courses, you can take acting one until you're a sophomore. You can take voice the speech for the actor, which really focuses on exactly what the title says. Who's this speech? That's a little bit about freshman classes in the future. I know for a theater in society, though they did add, at least for this Messer. They added a lab course, so you are actually doing some acting in it. You know, like you said, it's mostly a lot of learning about theater significance in society.
