Theatre Practice, section 1. This class may be added at any time during
the semester. See the director of the production for more information. Students enrolled in any of the three directing classes offered by the Department of Theatre Arts are always looking for students to act in their class projects.

If you would be interested in acting in a directing class scene, please notify the directing instructors:
Theatre is a collaborative art form needing the work of many artists and craftspersons. Little Country Theatre offers students many opportunities to become involved behind the scenes in working on a production. Students who work on a crew for any Little Country Theatre production may earn one credit hour by signing up for Theatre Arts 201, Theatre Practice. This class may be added at any time during the semester. See your crew supervisor for more information. Construction Crews: Construction crews help prepare the scenery, costumes or properties for a production. Their work is done in the weeks preceding the production. While carpentry skills are helpful in working on scenic construction and sewing skills are helpful in doing costume construction, the theatre staff is willing to train interested students.
If you are interested in costume construction, contact:
Running Crews: Running crews help the show run smoothly while it is in production. They may work the light or sound board during the show, shift scenery or properties during scene changes, help actors in and out of costume, or help maintain the costumes during the run of the show. Typically, the running crews begin their work during technical rehearsals, which are held the weekend before the show opens, and continue through the run of the show. For more information on the shift crew, properties crew, or to work as a light or sound board operator, contact:
For more information about working on wardrobe or as a dresser, contact:
Box Office and Publicity: Students who work in this area may sell tickets, help distribute posters on campus or to area retail stores, or help distribute brochures to theatre patrons or area hotels and motels. The LCT Box Office utilizes the Ticketmaster system, so students working in the box office will gain experience which may be useful in obtaining employment through Ticketmaster or other Ticketmaster outlets. Publicity and box-office work typically begins one to two weeks before a show opens and, in the case of box office workers, continues through the run of the show. For more information, contact:
Earning Academic Credit for Your Work Students participating in a Little Country Theatre production may earn one credit hour by signing up for Theatre Arts 201, Theatre Practice. This class may be repeated and may be added at any time during the semester. Theatre Arts 201 is divided into several sections:
Theatre Arts 201 is available only to students working on a Little Country Theatre production. Students involved in Theatre Arts class projects should sign up for credit under Theatre Arts 350, Studio Theatre, or Theatre Arts 450, Advanced Projects in Production. Any interested person may serve as an usher for a Little Country Theatre production. Little Country Theatre urges NDSU student groups to increase their visibility on campus and in the community by reserving a performance for their members to serve as ushers. Ushers are recognized in the LCT programs when sufficient notice has been given of a group's desire to usher for a performance. Ushers see the performance free-of-charge. Ushers are expected to wear appropriate clothing while ushering. They are required to be at the theatre by 7:00 p.m. on performance nights and to stay through the end of the play.
