Theatre Appreciation

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the art and profession of theatre, with an emphasis on evaluating and appreciating live performance, theatre's cultural importance, and its contribution to social diversity. In addition to a survey of the literature, history, styles, and theories of theatre, this course takes students behind the scenes to explore the production process and the different roles of theatre practitioners who work to bring a play from the page to the stage. Projects throughout the semester provide students with an opportunity to explore and express their own creativity.
