Mark Evancho

A lot of the work in the projects seems daunting, especially when they are first introduced, but I think Professor Evancho's enthusiasm really inspires you to succeed. He is lenient about deadlines and truly an understanding person, but try to get your work in on time anyways because the next project will creep up on you. We managed to cover a lot of different mediums throughout the semester and I've also noticeably improved in my art, so I really appreciated taking this class - even though it was surprisingly a little time consuming.

Mark is the nicest and kindest teacher I have had at Middlebury at this point. He really cares about scenic design, and you will learn a lot and have a ton of fun in this class without having to do a TON of work -- there still is some work but really not that bad. He will talk a lot in class and often rants about random things, but its just part of his appeal. 10/10 would reccomend.

Please be aware that it is a much longer "class" than most classes at Middlebury. In fact, it shouldn't be called a class but an apprenticeship. Because you learn a lot of skills fairly quickly, such as carpentry, lighting, painting, and audio design. Also, a large part of the course is safety. Do keep in mind that you will be somewhat expected to help support the theater department's productions, so that adds a few hours during run-week. Mark and the rest of the instructors are super passionate about their work!!!
