Design and Technology Concentration: Students will bring productions to life with opportunities to work with industry professionals including directors, dancers and choreographers during participation in any of Rider’s 13 yearly productions. With this specialized experience, along with varied learning opportunities outside of the classroom, students will be well prepared to enter roles in the performing arts industry immediately after graduation or pursue graduate studies.
Our program also assists students to find unique external opportunities to help them to further develop their performing arts production training. In the past, our majors have gained experience and built strong connections in internships with local professional theatre companies, including McCarter Theatre in Princeton, Passage Theatre in Trenton and the Bucks County Playhouse, to name a few.
Design and technology students will prepare to become stand out, behind-the-scenes artists. They’ll learn from professionally active faculty, develop strong working relationships and have unique hands-on opportunities to exercise their learned skills, assume leadership positions and/or design roles, and valuable experience through participation in onstage productions.
