Theater

TACIT as Theater Arts at Caltech is familiarly known, typically prepares and performs two or three plays each academic year. Recent productions include Shakespeare's Macbeth, Twelfth Night, and Love's Labour's Lost; Marivaux's La double inconstance; William's The Notebook of Trigorin; and Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. Members of the Caltech community have the opportunity to learn all aspects of the theatrical craft: acting, stage crew, set construction, wardrobe, light and sound operation, properties, house management, and publicity as well as working with professionals in areas of theater design: set, light, sound, costume, and music. This is a hands-on approach, not classroom theory. It also provides an appreciation of the theatrical literature and exposure to the literature of many languages (in translation).
