Over the past 20 years, American theatre has seen an explosion in the number of solo show productions: writer-performers such as Anna Deavere Smith, John Leguizamo, Danny Hoch and Sarah Jones have created new works that are neither performance art, nor traditional "well-made plays." Still, their work has found a mainstream audience. In this course we will study the one-person show from inside and out; students will write, develop and perform their own solo pieces while analyzing the texts and performances of some of America's most prominent theatre soloist s.
