About This Activity
How do set designers bring their creative ideas to life? In this hands-on workshop, students will explore stage design using models and miniatures while learning stagecraft terminology, stage elements, and design fundamentals. They’ll put their creativity to work designing a stage of their own, considering everything from the director’s vision and the script’s time period to stage dimensions and audience sightlines. Discover how imagination, problem-solving, and a little theatrical magic can transform an empty stage into a whole new world! Featuring Star Downey, a Stage Kids board member and parent with 17 years of teaching experience. For the past seven years, Star has taught hands-on, project-based STEAM learning to students across Washington. She loves helping young minds turn big ideas into creative projects and is excited to bring that passion to set design! Prerequisites: ITT-1 & ITT-2 Instructor: Star Downey CLASS/WORKSHOP ATTENDANCE POLICY Education is the core of Stage Kids’ programs—this is where kids develop most!

Students may participate in a show while taking a core class. Core Classes (ITT-1 & ITT-2): No more than TWO (2) classes can be missed per session to fulfill the requirement and qualify for future electives. More than 2 absences means the class must be retaken. SHOW PARTICIPANTS: Classes: No more than TWO (2) classes can be missed per session. More than 2 absences may affect eligibility for future shows. Workshops: Attendance on BOTH workshop days is required. Missing either or both days may affect eligibility for future shows. Thank you for helping us make the most of every learning opportunity!
