THEA 101 - Introduction to the Theatre

This course will examine the role and value of theatre in our culture and introduce students to the art of theatre by exploring the ways in which playwrights, directors, actors, designers, technicians, and audiences collaborate and make choices to create theatre. Through individual creative projects or lab experiences, lectures, demonstrations, readings, discussions, and viewing live and videotaped theatre performances, the student will have the opportunity to enrich his/her awareness and understanding of the artistic process inherent in creating theatre. By the end of the semester, the student will attend, read, discuss, and write about theatre with greater sensitivity and insight.
