U.S. Theatre History: Advanced ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

How did Broadway come to be the quintessential home of professional theater in the United States? When did the regional theater movement begin and why? Who becomes a star performer? This course is designed to teach you about the multi-vocal plays, musicals, and theater professionals who have contributed to the history of U.S. theater from the colonial period to today. We will investigate the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion in U.S. theater history while we also situate that history in the social, political, and economic history of the United States.
