THEATRE162 · course not matched
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Taking THEATRE 162 is so fun, the "class" is just working backstage for one of the T&D department productions. As long as you are willing to give your time and best effort to making sure the production runs as well as it can, you'll get an A. Jaha is very kind and even provides snacks! Definitely recommend.
