This class was so chill. All you have to do is show up and play with power tools for like three hours, twice a week. Not a lot of homework, and the projects are fun to complete. Professors are also super chill

Mark is a great guy and is super passionate about lighting. This class will give you opportunities to do lighting for school plays afterwards, but those are totally optional. Not much homework. Super interesting class about something I knew nothing about before hand. The projects and homework are fun. I would totally take it again.

Project based class where you design sets for various plays that you read. It was honestly really fun and Mark is a super nice guy. I will say that if you're not a theater/english person the paper prompts can be a little confusing but they're still doable. A great distribution class.
