THTR 319 Drama & Theatre in the United States
This course introduces students to the multicultural, layered histories of drama and theatre in the U.S. by examining a variety of forms, styles, and voices. Content spans from before the nation's founding to the present day, and underscores how performance has been used to both reinforce and resist U.S. institutions and structures. Students will not only read plays, but also examine popular forms through non-textual sources, while also considering how the narratives of U.S. theatre are written and performed.
