Lincoln High Theater

Lincoln High School Technical Theatre students focus on developing the basic tools and procedures for 

creating elements of technical theatre, including costumes, lighting, makeup, properties (props), publicity, 

scenery, and sound. Technical knowledge of safety procedures and demonstrated safe operation of theatre 

equipment, tools, and raw materials are central to success in LHS Technical Theatre.  Students explore and 

learn to analyze dramatic scripts, seeking production solutions through historical, cultural, and geographic 

research. Students also learn the basic standard conventions of design presentation and documentation; the 

organizational structure of theatre production and creative work in a collaborative environment.  Students 

regularly reflect on aesthetics and issues related to and addressed through theatre, creating within various 

aspects of theatre, techniques progressively more innovative. Students analyze sophisticated theatre 

literature to inform the work of developing technical design and production pieces for one-acts or larger 

productions. Public performances serve as a culmination of specific instructional goals.  Students 

participate in rehearsals and performances outside the school day to support LHS Theatrical Productions.
