Production Positions Production opportunities provide beginning and inter-
mediate students with hands-on experience in lighting, scenery, costumes, sound, and stage management. Advanced and qualifying production students are often given opportunities to hone their designing skills prior to graduation.
Facilities The Theatre Department is located
in the $12 million Paul W. Ogle Cultural and Community Center. This facility includes the Paul G. Robinson Theater, the Richard K. Stem Concert Hall, the Recital Hall, and the Ronald L. Barr Art Gallery. The Robinson Theater offers a thrust stage, a 340 seat house, state of the art lighting and sound systems, and affords the performer, director, and designer a host of artistic choices in production, and its thrust design allows for a strong actor-to-audience relationship. The Ogle Center also houses the Theatre Department’s acting studio, scene and lighting design studio, and the scene and costume shops.
Scholarships
The IU Southeast Theatre Department awards several scholarships each year to talented students, providing half and full-tuition scholarships — the equivalent of up to 15 credit hours of in-state tuition per semester. Kentucky residents of Bullitt, Jefferson, Oldham, and Trimble counties pay Indiana in-state tuition rates at IU Southeast. Recipients are selected on the basis of past participation and success in theatrical production or performance, grades, strength of recommendations, audition and/or portfolio presentation, and commitment to participation in a broad range of theatre. Scholarship auditions are generally held in March of each year.
