Theatres and Shops

For the safety of students, faculty, and staff, access to technical production areas is restricted to students and faculty who are properly trained to supervise crews. Therefore, keys for the scenery, sound, electrics, or costume areas will be signed out to the designated student supervisors for the production periods of their assigned shows. Only faculty and staff supervisors will grant permission for keys to be assigned to any particular student, and students should sign out all keys from the Production Manager, Dillingham 216. A student technical director, for example, may be allowed the use of a scene shop key for the build and run of his/her production. That key will be returned to the coordinator of theatre operations the day after strike. Keys may also be assigned to certain students on a short-term basis as the need arises. Keys will be assigned only to those students who are designated as supervisors and who are trained to run production crews in the absence of a faculty or staff member. Keys will not automatically be assigned to students in certain positions; faculty and staff members in individual areas will determine who needs keys and when they need them. Off-hour crew calls must be approved by the area faculty or staff supervisor; possession of a key does not give student supervisors the right to call special crews.

Serious responsibilities accompany the privilege of being assigned a key. The student to whom a key is entrusted is to use his/her access to fulfill specific production responsibilities; the facility is not to be opened for everyone who wishes to use it. Ithaca College theatre resources are never to be used for commercial or non-College projects and work on personal projects will be allowed only by special permission and only when a faculty or staff member is present. It will be the responsibility of the student supervisor to see that there is no unauthorized use of the facility, that work spaces are properly cleaned and that all equipment is secured and the facility locked after the scheduled call. The specifics of cleaning and securing each area will be given to student supervisors working in those areas.

Since the student supervisor will usually be the only person with permission to use the area, s/he will be held solely responsible if violations of any of the above regulations are discovered. Such violations will result in disciplinary action; this may include removal of the student from his/her supervisory position.

Scene shop hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Crew calls that are run outside these hours are considered special and may be run only with permission from the design/technical faculty. As a rule, special evening crews should run no later than 10:00 p.m., and no one is to remain in the building after 1:00 a.m. The only exception to this rule will be for faculty and staff supervised activities such as strikes for major productions. Special evening and weekend crews may be run only by a designated student supervisor who has been assigned keys for access to the shop. Any unauthorized person who is discovered working in the shop during off-hours will face disciplinary action.

Student supervisors, especially in the absence of a faculty or staff member, must be cognizant of the following standard procedures:

A. Appropriate Use of the Scene Shop

1. The scene shop is to be used for scheduled Ithaca College Theatre Productions or classroom projects only. The shop is never to be used for commercial or non-college activities; work on personal projects will be allowed only by special permission and only when a faculty member is present.
2. No fewer than two people, one of whom must be an approved supervisor, will be allowed to work in the shop at any time.

B. Basic Safety and Operational Guidelines

1. It will be assumed that designated student supervisors, after receiving proper training, understand the safe operation of all tools and equipment that they must use. Supervisors are expected to use appropriate safety equipment such as tool guards, respirators, gloves, and ear and eye protection. If a student supervisor is unsure of any of these procedures, s/he must contact a faculty or staff member to receive the proper training to undertake the assigned tasks. Supervisors must never use or ask crew members to use equipment with which they are unfamiliar.
2. Student supervisors should know the location and use of fire extinguishers, eye wash station, dust and fume protection devices, first aid kit, and all exits. The department technical director should be informed if any items in the first aid kit need to be replenished.
3. Supervisors should remove from service any tool which is damaged or is not in safe working condition. Damaged or unsafe tools should be reported to the department technical director immediately.
4. The scene shop and the theatres are no-smoking areas. Alcohol is not permitted in the building. Any student found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be summarily dismissed from his/her position and possibly from the program.

Normal hours of operation for lighting and sound activities shall be Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Crew calls and/or other operations planned outside of these hours must be approved by the faculty lighting or sound supervisor in advance of the projected call. All crew calls outside of normal operating hours (including weekend calls) must be run only by a designated student supervisor who has been assigned appropriate keys to the lighting/sound control and operations area.

THE LIGHT CAGE AND SOUND SHOP AREAS ARE NOT NORMALLY ACCESSIBLE TO CREWS. DESIGNERS AND MASTER ELECTRICIANS/SOUND ENGINEERS SHOULD PLAN WORK WELL IN ADVANCE AND SHOULD SUBMIT REQUESTS FOR EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO THE LIGHT CAGE OR SOUND CAGE ASSISTANT ALLOWING SUFFICIENT TIME FOR SUCH REQUESTS TO BE PROCESSED. IF REQUESTS ARE NOT SUBMITTED IN ADVANCE, THE NEEDED EQUIPMENT OR SUPPLIES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE.

Details of the lighting/sound operations policy are as follows:

A. Use of Lighting and Sound Areas:

1. Lighting and sound equipment is to be used only for Ithaca College productions and classroom projects. Work on personal projects may be allowed upon arrangement with the faculty supervisor. Keys will not be issued for any use other than activities associated with scheduled Ithaca College Theatre productions. Assignment to a lighting and/or sound project does not guarantee that a key will be issued to the person assigned. Key assignment requests will be evaluated on an individual basis.

All classroom projects involving lighting or sound equipment must be carried out when the hours when the departmental office is open (usually Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).

2. At least two persons must be on site during all crew operations, one of who must be an approved supervisor. For the purposes of definition, crew activities shall include any work that involves any activity on the cove and box ladders or the catwalks, any activity on the redwood deck, any use of the Genie or ladders, any work that involves the use and handling of electrical wiring or equipment, and any use of the counterweight system and spot lines.

3. Designers may be permitted to work alone provided that such work does not involve any activity other than building cues and setting levels. Any other activity shall be considered as crew operation and shall be subject to the appropriate regulations. Designers should see the above regulations regarding access to the lighting or sound control areas.

B. Basic Safety and Operational Guidelines

1. Student supervisors are presumed to understand the equipment involved in their area of activity. They are expected to see that equipment is used properly and that safe working procedures are used at all times. If a student supervisor is unsure of proper use or correct safety procedures, s/he must contact a member of the faculty or staff to receive proper training. Supervisors must never use or ask crew members to use equipment with which they are unfamiliar.

2. Student supervisors should know the location and use of safety equipment including fire extinguishers and first aid supplies. Student supervisors must be familiar with the appropriate procedures in case the building fire alarms sound.

3. Supervisors should remove from service any unsafe equipment and notify the faculty supervisor of the defect.

4. Smoking is not permitted in the theatres or in any lighting or sound area.

5. No beverage of any kind is permitted in the lighting and sound control areas at any time. All liquid substances are to be kept away from electronic equipment.

6. Alcohol is not permitted in the building. Students are not permitted to work on electrics or sound crews while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

C. Emergency Procedure

The theatre arts department will hold informational meetings for all student supervisors at the beginning of each semester to review procedures to be followed in the event of fire and/or personal injury. For obvious reasons, these meetings will be mandatory.

D. Cleanup/Closeup Regulations

1. At least twenty minutes cleanup time must be planned into each crew call. The stage must be cleared and cleaned, and all tools and equipment safely stowed in an appropriate location before leaving the area. Floors must be swept and all debris placed in trash receptacles. The student supervisor is responsible for making sure that the area is cleaned.

2. All control equipment must be turned off. House lights must be turned off and the prescribed safety lighting turned on. All control areas, catwalks, and storage compartments must be locked. The student supervisor is responsible for checking to be sure that all locks are set.

E. Access To Facilities For Designers

Student designers should plan needed access to control consoles and equipment with the faculty supervisor. At the option of the faculty supervisor, a key to the control areas may be assigned; however, assignment to a design position does not guarantee assignment of a key.

F. Contacts For Assistance

All student supervisors in the lighting and sound area should keep on hand telephone numbers for the area faculty supervisor and the Office of Safety and Security.

Student supervisors should be cognizant of the following standard procedures when running production crews in either theatre:

A. Appropriate Use of the Theatres

1. The normal hours of operation in the theatres are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Any crews that are called outside those hours are considered special calls and must be approved by the design/technical faculty and staff and must be under the direction of an approved supervisor. While it is likely that some crews will need to work after 10:00 p.m., it should be noted that the Department of Safety and Security will remove anyone remaining in the building after 1:00 a.m. unless prior approval has been granted.

2. No fewer than two people, one of whom must be an approved supervisor, will be allowed to work in the theatres at any time.

B. Basic Safety and Operational Guidelines

1. It will be assumed that the designated student supervisors who work on the Hoerner stage are trained in the proper use of the counterweight flying system. If this is not the case, it is the responsibility of the student supervisor to seek that training from the appropriate faculty or staff member.

2. Student supervisors should know the exact location and use of fire extinguishers and emergency exits.

3. Outriggers must always be used in the Genie personnel lift and the aluminum scaffolding.

4. Unsafe or damaged equipment should be taken out of service and reported to the department technical director immediately.

5. Smoking and consumption of alcohol are not permitted in the building.

C. Emergency Procedures

The theatre arts department will hold informational meetings for all student supervisors at the beginning of each semester to review procedures to be followed in the event of fire and/or personal injury. For obvious reasons, these meetings will be mandatory.

General Space Notes

The McCarroll Theatre commonly houses faculty directed workshop productions, and new works workshops over the course of the semester.

The Production Manager, Mia Jumbo, (room 216) schedules the use of the McCarroll Theatre. Department workshops and senior directing projects have priority over other events. All faculty, staff and students are strongly encouraged to sign out spaces ahead of time to ensure that the space is available for their sole use.

The theatre will not have multiple events in performance simultaneously. Major productions have full use of the theatre starting ten days before the opening of the production and no other group will be granted use of the theatre during this time.

If they are not being used for scheduled productions or main stage rehearsals, theatre department spaces may be reserved by students from the end of scheduled classes until 1:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and from 7:00 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Theatrical productions are typically not permitted during exam week.

Priority: The following groups of people have priority (in the following order) in the theatre department facilities:

i. Department workshop productions
ii. Department non-main stage productions
iii. Theatre Arts Faculty and Staff
iv. Department students classwork / review work

All individuals using the facilities are responsible for maintaining them. You are required to use wastebaskets to dispose of refuse. Recycling bins for copier paper (white and colored) and typing paper are available in the main office, next to the copier and at several other locations in the building.

Upon completion of any function (class, rehearsal, performance, etc.) the function’s supervisor (faculty or student) is to make certain that the space is returned to its standard, organized, usable condition. Chairs are to be returned to their normal placement. ALL stock rehearsal furniture is to be returned to its proper storage areas. All additional furniture, props, costumes, equipment, etc. provided by the function must be removed from the space.

All spaces used for storage of equipment, rehearsal furniture, etc., are not to be left unattended unless they are locked. SECURITY is a priority in this building.

The person in charge of any function, whether faculty or student, assumes responsibility for assuring that established procedures are followed. Any damage to the McCarroll Theatre’s space, stock furniture, or equipment should be reported to the Student Assistant (see below) immediately. Failure to follow these procedures or abuse of the space or equipment may result in the withdrawal of permission to use the facilities.

Casting

Workshop and new work productions will be cast through the standard main stage casting process. 

Rehearsal Process

McCarroll Theatre productions are assigned a production slot. Performances may be presented at any time during the assigned slot except on days when a main stage performance is scheduled.

After every rehearsal or performance, the McCarroll Theatre and the support areas must be restored to their standard, organized condition that will allow the next occupant to use the space immediately upon arrival.

Stage Management

Stage managers will be assigned to the Workshop and New Works projects, as needed, when personnel permits.

House Management / Ticketing

The audience is seated in four levels along the east wall of the theatre. The audience gathers in the main theatre lobby and enters the space through the east door between the Theatre and Studio I so that they remain out of the backstage area of the building.

Theatre Arts Management will support Workshop productions. Support will be considered, as needed, for New Works projects. On the day of performance, a ticketing table should be set up in the corridor, perpendicular to the costume shop, to create a barrier between the audience and the west side hallway. Pipe and drape should be set up behind the ticketing table to further shield the backstage area.  Pipe and drape must be removed following each performance.

All tickets for performances in The McCarroll Theatre will be free of charge. However, tickets for “new works” workshops must be reserved ahead of time. Theatre Arts Management will e-mail all department students in advance of these productions to solicit requests for tickets. 

Late seating of patrons is left to the discretion of the director, but, in general, is not permitted in the McCarroll Studio Theatre because of the intimacy of the space.

The available Theatre Arts Management support is described below. Support will be considered, as needed, for new work projects. Students must receive approval to participate in a production from their area faculty, using the standard Permission to Participate form before they agree to participate in a production.

PUBLICITY

The TAM area welcomes ideas from production members on how to promote the production. The TAM liaison will write and distribute a press release and post announcements about the show on Intercom and the theatre department website, as well as the department’s Twitter account (@ictheatrearts) and on Facebook (Ithaca College Theatre Arts). With the director’s guidance, the TAM liaison will also arrange for an 8.5 x 11” color flier to be produced, copied, and distributed.

A publicity photo shoot will be scheduled at least two weeks prior to the opening performance.  The primary purpose is to obtain press photos that will be used to publicize the production. The photo shoot will last no more than one hour. There is no budget to pay this photographer, so the TAM liaison will find a volunteer. The TAM liaison welcomes ideas from the production’s director regarding set-ups and an appropriate setting for the shoot.

Any additional outreach events or activities are outside the TAM liaison’s responsibilities.

PROGRAMS

At the first rehearsal, cast and crew will be given directions about how to access bio forms electronically by going to: https://www.ithaca.edu/hs/depts/theatre/resources/forms/bio. Bios should be filled out and sent to the program coordinator within twenty-four hours after that first rehearsal. Bios should be kept under 125 words. Keep in mind that all bios will be edited to conform to College guidelines in reference to style. In general, if a regular patron cannot understand a reference in a bio, it will be edited until they can.

Cast and crew will have one opportunity, in a very tight time window, to proof program copy. A copy will be emailed to the stage manager for dissemination to all participants in the production.  Production-wide “acknowledgements” should also be submitted at this time.

The production’s director and/or dramaturg are invited to submit notes for the program (no more than 350 words). The deadline for these notes is the first rehearsal.

TICKETING

The TAM liaison will distribute ticket reservation sheets to cast and crew at the first rehearsal. Cast and crew members may request multiple tickets up to a maximum of four. Completed ticket reservation forms should be given to the stage manager or left on the TAM bulletin board across from the scene shop. Blank forms will also be provided on the bulletin board. All tickets are subject to availability and should be reserved as quickly as possible.

Reserved tickets must be picked up at least 15 minutes before show time or they will be released to other patrons. If a company member has friends or family picking up tickets that they have reserved, the company member must make sure the patrons are aware of this policy.

Faculty and staff receive two complimentary tickets for any performance. Ticket reservation forms will be placed in the faculty/staff mailboxes.   Cast and crew reservations will be prioritized and filled first. The TAM liaison handles all other ticket requests electronically via the ictams1@gmail.com email address.

The TAM liaison will manage a small staff of ushers and ticketing agents to seat patrons for each performance.

Design/Technical Description and Support

The McCarroll Theatre is a 54-seat, end stage theatre configured with permanent seating risers, seating chart, and a 22’-0” x 15’-0” stage. Surrounding the stage are black curtains with an actor crossover behind the space. Due to the large number of productions and classes that use this space, no changes can be made to the configuration of the theatre equipment except as specified below; or with written consent of the Stage Management Mentor and the Lighting and Sound Supervisor prior to rehearsal.

Due to limited resources, the Theatrical Production Arts area cannot support productions in the McCarroll Theatre at the same level as main stage productions. The available support and equipment is described below. All additional personnel, scenery, costumes, props, media content, etc. will need to be provided by the producers, directors, and cast of the production as necessary. Any equipment requests from the Theatre Department must go through the Stage Management Mentor and the Lighting and Sound Supervisor prior to load in.

DESIGN/OPERATOR/CREW SUPPORT

No designers will be provided for any McCarroll Theatre productions. Productions can provide their own designers, but students must receive approval to participate in a production from their area faculty, using the standard Permission to Participate form.

It is the responsibility of the producer to contact the Stage Management Mentor and the Lighting and Sound Supervisor to coordinate any safety training required for their production. No operators/run crew will be provided to run McCarroll Theatre productions. The stage manager may serve as the lighting and sound operator or the production may provide its own operator(s) if necessary. All operators must be trained by the McCarroll Theatre Student Assistant before the equipment can be used in rehearsal or performance.

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Each production gets a budget for their use on the production.  All purchases must be made with a tax-exempt form.  The department does not reimburse tax.  Any online purchases should be made through the Production Manager or the Stage Management Supervisor.   All receipts must be turned in to production management no later than 10 business days after the purchase is made.  If there is not a production manager assigned to the McCarroll Studio Theatre the Stage Management Mentor will act as the Production Manager.

MCCARROLL STUDIO THEATRE STUDENT SUPERVISOR

The McCarroll Theatre student assistant is responsible for managing load-ins and strikes in the space, training students on the theatre’s equipment and its operation, and ensuring that this equipment is well maintained and cared for by the production. Any questions about the use of the space or its equipment should be directed to this assistant. The student assistant is NOT responsible for design services, and is NOT available to act as run crew for productions. The student assistant is only scheduled certain hours per week to serve these functions. Therefore it is important to schedule load-ins, strikes, and training as far in advance as possible.

SCENERY

Outside of the stock curtains that make up the space, no additional support is available from the scene shop. Requests to change the arrangement of the stock curtains must be coordinated with the student assistant and the labor for such changes must be provided by the production. Because the space is used by classes throughout the day, changes to the curtains and installation of any scenery provided by the production must be approved and coordinated with Stage Management Mentor and the Lighting and Sound Supervisor prior to rehearsal. These scenic changes can only occur during the scheduled load-in before the first performance and must be struck/restored during the designated strike period this includes the Studio 2 storage closet.

COSTUMES

No support is available from the costume shop. All necessary costumes should be provided by the producer and cannot be stored in the Theatre. Costumes should be stored in students’ lockers, Studio 2 theatre’s storage room (Dill 021), or taken home each night.

PROPS

The McCarroll Theatre has a dedicated stock of rehearsal furniture. Outside of this stock furniture, no support is available from the prop shop. All necessary props should be provided by the cast and stored in their lockers, Studio 2 Studio 2 theatre’s storage room (Dill 021), or taken home each night.

LIGHTING

The McCarroll Theatre’s repertory lighting plot and channel hookup are available on the website and copies will be kept by the student assistant. The plot provides two sets of front light, one set of side light, three sets of back light, front and back diagonal washes, and six re-focusable specials. All lights must be left in their repertory focus with the exception of the six specials and the front diagonal washes. The department’s gel and template stock is available for use and lighting designers may recolor any unit provided it is restored at the end of the production.  All gel and gobo requests should go through the student assistant and are the responsibility of the show to get returned to the Light Shop at the end of the production. Control is provided via an ETC Express 24/48. The student assistant must train (or certify as already trained) designers and operators on the safe use of the console, dimmers, and lighting equipment. The student assistant can also provide access to the department’s gel and template stock as necessary. The dimming system in the space is already operating at full capacity therefore, no additional lighting equipment can be added to the system. Standard electrical utility outlets are available throughout the space and can be used to power manually controlled “practical’s” such as lamps.

SOUND

The McCarroll Theatre’s repertory sound plot and system diagram are available on the website and copies will be kept by the student assistant. The system provides stereo, main speakers that cover the seating area a small mixer for playback and reinforcement, and playback capability through Qlab 2.3.9 or an auxiliary 1/8” stereo plug. A subwoofer (EV SB122) and four speakers are provided in the space (EV ZX1).   Two wired (SM 58), handheld microphones with stands and up to 50’ of cable each can also be used for low-level reinforcement in the space. If microphones are used, the production must have a sound operator to protect the audience, actors, and equipment from damaging feedback. Requests for this additional equipment should be made to the student assistant as far in advance as possible. All additional equipment that is not hung in the grid must be completely struck at the end of each rehearsal/performance and stored in an appropriate and secure determined by the student assistant. Only the reinforcement microphones can be moved all other equipment and system must be kept in their repertory configuration and cannot be changed by the production. The student assistant must train (or certify as already trained) designers and operators on the safe use of the sound system and equipment.

COMMUNICATIONS

The McCarroll Theatre has one channel of headset communications and enough equipment to support two users on wired headsets. Any communications equipment must be requested prior to load in.

VIDEO / PROJECTION

No support is available for video or projections in the studio theatre.

TECHNICAL HOURS IN THE THEATRE

The theatre is reserved for technical theatre from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. except when scheduled for a class or performance. As per Department policy, no technical rehearsal is allowed to extend past 11:00 pm.  No more than ten (10) hours of rehearsal may be scheduled on any technical rehearsal day, and no more than five (5) hours of rehearsal may be scheduled on any performance day.

PRODUCTION MEETING

Production meetings are assigned by the Coordinator of Theatre Operations, Mary Scheidegger, (room 223) at the beginning of each semester and must be confirmed with the Stage Management Mentor and the Lighting and Sound Supervisor to coordinate attendance of the Production Manager and the McCarroll Student Assistant one week prior to the first meeting.  

STRIKE

All production-related equipment, including props, costumes, and furniture must be removed from the studio theatre and storage areas, and the spaces fully restored, immediately following the final performance. Strike must be completed before classes commence the day following the final performance.

Most props are available for use in Ithaca College productions, events or projects; however, the faculty technical director, staff scene shop supervisor, and faculty scene designer reserve the right to authorize their use. All props must be returned back to their original storage spaces.

1. All props must be checked out at least one day in advance.
2. The prop borrowing must be done through the props request form found here. The student prop shop assistants will schedule a time when the properties can be pulled from stock. These will be the only times when students may obtain props for scenes or rehearsal. The technical director, student assistant to the technical director, or faculty props designer will not be available for prop lending.
3. If a prop is damaged, lost, or destroyed, it will be the responsibility of the person who checked it out to replace the prop.

Like the scene shop, the costume shop serves all productions and practical classroom instruction. Therefore:

1. No tools, supplies, or equipment may be removed from the shop.
2. No equipment may be used for personal projects without the permission of the costume shop manager.
3. The shop will not be considered open unless a member of the costume shop staff is present (this includes the shop manager, costume designer, and student assistants.)
4. For the convenience of all concerned, sewing supplies are available in the scene shop for any prop or scenic related sewing.
5. The costume storage areas are off limits. Anyone entering these areas must have permission from the costume shop manager and/or the faculty costume designer.

As part of their production responsibilities, students may be given purchasing privileges for a specific area of production. All purchases are authorized in advance through the coordinator of theatre operations. Students must observe the following procedures and guidelines:

Petty Cash
Reimbursement will be made in cash up to $20 and only for the amount of the purchase and must be accompanied by a receipt. (Purchases over $20 will be reimbursed with a College issued check.) No tax will be reimbursed, so students must pick up tax exempt forms when they get their purchases authorized. Students may also be reimbursed for gas used to make pickups and deliveries, but must submit a receipt or a statement of mileage.

Petty Cash Advance
If the student is going to another city for an extensive shopping trip, the coordinator of theatre operations can arrange for a petty cash advance ($75-$500). The student and their faculty advisor must notify the coordinator of theatre operations 48 hours in advance of the trip. The student is responsible for the petty cash advance and after the shopping trip must return either receipts or unused cash to compensate for the entire amount.

Purchasing Card
All design/tech faculty and staff members, as well as each production area, have Ithaca College authorized purchasing cards. With the supervising faculty’s permission, a student may use a purchasing card to order items on-line, over the phone, or at a store. The student should be prepared to show a College ID when using the purchasing card. When an order is made, the student must fill out a pink “Purchasing Card Purchase” form and submit it to his/her supervisor.

All forms are available from the coordinator of theatre operations. Please be sure you understand all procedures before making your purchases. Receipts and paperwork for purchases must be turned in to the coordinator of theatre operations at most one week after the purchase has been made. Delinquency in returning paperwork or failure to provide a clear accounting of purchases may result in having one’s purchasing privileges revoked.

The CAD lab (Dillingham 118) is available for all B.F.A. design and technology students to use for both class and production work. Students will be given access to the lab via their student ID.

STRIKE

All B.F.A. TP&D majors must attend ALL strikes whether they are assigned to the production or not. Failure to attend will result in a lowering of the current semester production assignment grade by one full grade for each strike missed. In other words, if you miss one strike, the highest grade you can expect on your current production assignment is a B. If a student is not getting credit for production in any given semester, this policy will affect their next semester production assignment grade. This counts for all Theatre Production, Advanced Theatre Production, Advanced Projects, Senior Projects or Independent Studies in which B.F.A. Theatrical Production & Design students are enrolled.

PRODUCTION

All B.F.A. design/technology majors must participate in production every semester they are in residence at Ithaca College. The only exception is if a student attends the London Center. 

NON-ASSIGNED PRODUCTION (ON AND OFF CAMPUS)

Students who wish to engage in non main stage (non-curricular, assigned) production opportunities (on and off campus) must fill out a "Request for Permissions to Participate" form prior to any work commencing. Failure to do so will result in a lowering of your current production grade by one full letter.
