About Theatre Courses

Theatre courses will offer students the opportunity to explore and learn about the Theatrical Arts. This includes performing, technical work, costume/make-up, and playwriting. Students in all levels of these courses will be challenged to apply their creative knowledge towards projects (both in groups and as individuals.)  

Troyplayers

The Troyplayers consist of students wishing to further their theatrical studies. This course is for students how have already completed a general theatre course and will focus on their finding of a personal, artistic voice. Students here will be involved with the Fall Play, compete at regionals, aid in the larger technical aspects of various performances and act as ambassadors of Rigby's Theatre Community.

Costume/Make-Up Design

This year we are proud to announce the creation of a third theatre course at Rigby, Costume/Make-Up Design. Like Troyplayers, this course is only for students who have completed a prior theatre course. This will be an in dept, hands-on course that will see students designing costumes for a variety of different (non-performed) shows as well as designing and applying various forms of theatrical make-up. This course will require a fair amount of preparation and drawing skills are a bonus. Through this course, students will learn how to show character and story through both costume and make-up.
