Scenic Painting Workshop March 21 and 22
March 17, 2025
ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø will host a Translucent Drop Painting Workshop led by Jenny Knott, product specialist with Rosco, a nationally recognized and four-time Academy Award winning company. This event is supported by a CEC grant and aims to elevate ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø’s presence in the professional theatre community while providing a free, hands-on arts experience for students and the public and offers a rare opportunity to witness scenic painting techniques used in professional theatre productions.
The workshop will contribute directly to ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø’s upcoming spring musical, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, bringing behind-the-scenes theatre magic to life. Paul Yeates, associate professor of lighting and scenic design at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø says that this “will be a great opportunity for the community to see a new side of theatre magic and artistry that ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø has not used in the past.”
