The Undergraduate Theater Society (UTS) is a RSO that functions as an independent theatre company within the University of Washington by and for undergraduate students. Our 5 annual productions are completely student run and funded. Working with UTS is a fantastic opportunity to develop marketable and in demand skills like Lighting Design.
This month, UTS is holding a workshop series in technical practice featuring graduate students and experienced UTS board members. The workshops are open to all levels of experience and anyone looking to learn
UTS will be holding their Lighting Design workshop on Thursday June 1st from 430-6 PM in Hutchinson 205. At this workshop we will cover:
- Computer Drafting using Vectorworks

Our lighting department gives practical experience in electrical systems, working with software to control systems, and learning how to communicate and conceptualize electricity as art.
