DownStage
DownStage is an intensive, hands-on conference in theatrical production. As part of this SLC Theatre component, students learn about all aspects of production and administration, including creating a board of directors, building a mission, budgeting, marketing, and artistic direction around an entire season of events and productions.
2019-2020 Downstage Mission
Downstage is a student-run theatre company that celebrates the myriad of identities in our community. We ask our creative partners to bring the uniqueness that makes us all unapologetically special and singular as artists. We embrace difference: in our play selections, cast and creative teams, the events we present, the causes we support, and the ways we use our space.
We aspire to elevate complex characters and stories that aren’t often told. We hope to build a group of creators to challenge the way we approach our art, our own biases, and the tropes we unknowingly carry out. We
will create a welcoming environment of trust as we learn alongside
you as collaborators.
BRING THE WEIRD. We want your bold, conspicuous, and unabashed perspectives! Help us find and celebrate the eccentricity that surrounds
our campus and community, and make it as loud, joyful, and
cathartic as possible!
