EN 367 - Contemporary Theater

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

From the glamour of Broadway and West End productions of The Producers and Rent, to gritty protest dramas and the avant-garde contemporary theatre is a vibrant and amazingly diverse art form. This class will examine an overview of the dramatic literature of the last 30 years, with an emphasis on the 21st Century. In so doing, students will be discussing a wide range of related issues, including the varying production styles and techniques involved with each script and the broader cultural and social framework that makes these works possible. As with any class that deals with the dramatic arts, our discussions of these plays will be framed by the viewing and analysis of many performances, both live and on video.
