The curriculum includes required coursework before and after the two-week summer residency period and throughout the academic school year. The SOU residency portion of the program includes active discussion of production elements, including script analysis, all design elements, stage management, in-depth exploration of all technical areas, hands-on training in production concepts, and practical application of technical processes. Evenings are spent preparing class assignments, working on design and technical projects, and attending plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
