Entertainment Technology I and II
Students Learn On-Site at Proctors Theatre
Explore what happens backstage and in the studios through
Entertainment Technology, a program offered in partnership with
Proctors in Schenectady.
The program is based in Proctors where students experience the
world of theatre and film production, hands-on building skills and
knowledge. Students learn about the technical aspects of theatre
and film production including history, art and design interpretation,
scenery, construction and painting techniques, tools and
equipment, sound and recording, stage electrics and lighting,
costuming and makeup.
Backstage education is complemented by experiences in
performance, art, music and practical building trades in a fun and
creative atmosphere. Internships and job shadowing advance
students’ marketable skills while helping them explore careers.
First-year students can earn credit for integrated science, and secondyear
students can earn credit for integrated English. Upon completion
of the program, students are well-prepared to continue their studies
at college or enter the workforce.
This program is a direct pathway into the Entertainment Technology program at Fulton-Montgomery Community College (FMCC).
