Welcome to Design, Technologies & Management
The festival is an exciting time for all DTM students. Every year we have state-of-the-art sessions that explore subjects in design, technologies, and management — including design tools & techniques, career opportunities, creating the ideal portfolio, stage management, grad school, and more.
Design & Technology Expo
The DTM Expo is an opportunity for students to share their set, lighting, sound, costume, stage management, and allied craft projects with theatre professionals and fellow designers. The Expo also features the latest technology and equipment, with vendors displaying their latest products.
Stage Management Expo
Stage Managers are encouraged to submit a portfolio for the Stage Manager program, which offers an opportunity to present your work to, and receive feedback from, professionals working in the field. Stage Managers may also have the chance to work behind the scenes with Festival programs such as the Irene Ryan Auditions, the National Playwriting Program (NPP), SDC Directing program, Fringe Festival, and more.
Technical & Stage Management Internships
Student stage carpenters, riggers, electricians, board operators, and sound technicians are all encouraged to join the Festival’s Technical Intern team.
