The medium of theatre is both ancient and, paradoxically, perhaps our most fluid
and immediate. What do our plays say about our world today? Join a working
playwright in reading the new plays she finds most vital and exciting, including
the work of Caryl Churchill, Suzan-Lori Parks, Tom Stoppard, and Paula Vogel,
as well as brand new voices, including plays so new they're not yet published.
Format: seminar. Evaluation: Students will be expected to respond to these plays
both in written assignments and in-class discussions.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limited: 15 (expected 10). Preference given to
Theatre majors.
Hour: KREITZER
