THE1520 — Modern Drama
Students will discover the turning point that led to a new direction for contemporary drama. The musical in post-war America is examined, and African-American, Latino, Asian-American, women's theatre, and such styles as Absurdism are investigated. Plays and performances are viewed in class and independent reading is assigned. Playwriting styles and a discussion of directing and producing approaches will help the student discover modern ways of presentation. A continuation of THE 1510. Prerequisite/Corequisite: ENG 1530.
