Why It's Wild
Dash Three is a required one-quarter course for theatre majors where the student (typically a first year) will work in the costumes, properties, lighting, set, or another department for a production at the Wirtz Center. Students typically work six hours per week to fulfill their course requirement and more hours on the weekends the show is running. It is also used as a verb to refer to the act of serving as a tech crew member. The theatre speech community uses dash three, both written and spoken in informal social contexts on campus.
Example Sentences
