This recipient is a Theatre Design & Production and Stage Management major at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. I don't know if they have a specific name for the drama-related majors but if he was at my alma mater Carnegie Mellon, he would be known as a dramat (emphasis on second syllable). He was the set designer and overall technician for many shows at his high school and received quite a few Cappie Awards for his work.
The shows with which he was involved ranged from Orwellian serious drama and Japanese plays
to Broadway musicals and children's favorites.
This young man is a formidable talent and it wouldn't surprise me to see him awarded a Tony in the next decade or so.
