Course Description

Focuses on selected topics in Dramatic Literature with an emphasis on diverse populations, social constructs and/or cultures of the United States. Plays covered will explore how these populations are represented, created, challenged, suppressed or empowered. Some questions to be explored may include: How have theatre artists from various diverse populations opened up new terrain both socially and aesthetically? Is theatre a form of entertainment or social protest or ritual? How can these forms be combined? In addition, students will have the opportunity to look at the kinds of relationships explored in the plays: What types of racial or ethnic relationships are depicted? What about gender, sexual orientation, and class?
