Applied Drama assignments (THEA 2040/2050/2060) are fulfilled by doing crew, technical, or shop work for UGA Theatre shows and are required of all theatre majors. Non majors may be eligible for this 1-hour credit that fulfills UGA's experiential learning requirement if there are available openings. The courses have a POD restriction (Permission of Department) that will require approval in order for you to register. Technical Director Allison Hooks arranges Applied Drama assignments. How It Works: STEP ONE: Contact Ali directly, either in person or over email, until all assignments have been filled. Include your 81# in the request. STEP TWO: Ali facilitates the POD request, making it possible for the student to register for the course in ATHENA (This process is not immediate, but once your POD has been accepted by Ali, that assignment is yours and cannot be given to another student). STEP THREE: These PODs get entered in batches Ali sends to the advising office. Students are then able to add the class in Athena. Work schedules, evening classes, family vacations, or social engagements should be taken into account when discussing your assignment with Ali at the outset, as these do not constitute “extraordinary circumstances” that might impede your ability to meet the requirements of your assignment. Important Notes: If you are planning to audition for a show, be mindful of the dates associated with each Applied Drama assignment. For example, if you are cast in SHOW A you cannot also be on run crew for that show, but could possibly crew SHOW B in the same semester. There is no technology or machinery that can replace the capabilities of our students! Applied Drama assignments are a crucial part of your theatre education but they are also an essential component in successfully producing our season. You also develop important career skills in the process.
