Webster University Sargent Conservatory of Theatre Arts

Design: Costume, Lighting, Scene, Sound, and Wig & Makeup

The Spitfire Grill

Sargent Conservatory is one of only a few programs whose productions are designed entirely by undergraduate students; faculty input on production work is strictly advisory. Design students acquire production experience necessary for their degree and simultaneously build exciting, varied portfolios. The combination of conceptual work in the design classroom, coupled with practical shop and stage work, creates a unique opportunity for artistic and professional growth. Importantly, our curricular sequence aims to improve each student’s artistic skills. Students majoring in visual disciplines pair design classes with fine

arts courses throughout their time at Webster. Sound design majors pair their design classes with courses in music and audio technology. Design students enrich their studies by working with our professional partners. Many students opt also to study abroad or do an internship during their third or fourth year at Webster. We offer BFA degrees in costume design, lighting design, scene design,sound design and wig & makeup design. Although there are variations among the programs, all rely on a holistic approach to the design process.
