    3.00 Credits
    Middlebury College

    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.
