Recognizing Duke Theater’s scene and costume shops
(04/17/23 4:00am)
In the basement of the Bryan Center sit two little-known learning workshops dedicated to educating technical theater students at Duke: the Scene and Costume Shops. For years, the shops have served as gateways for students looking to expand their skills and understanding of theater. Every year, the shops employ roughly ten work-study students each, ranging from first-semester students who have never touched a power tool or sewing machine, to graduating seniors about to embark on their own professional careers in the arts.
