THDA 251 - Theater Projects

Theater Projects bring together scholarship and performance to create a unique learning experience. A theater project is based on subject matter suggested by the script chosen for production (i.e., an investigation of a particular historical period and its performance style, an examination of an important issue raised by the text, a deconstruction or recontextualization of a given script to reveal its contemporary relevance, etc.) or is the basis for the development of an original theater piece. Students are involved in both research and rehearsals. An important aspect of the course will be an evaluation of the subject matter gained through the subjective and objective methods of investigation involved in the project. In addition, students are expected to sign up for a one-credit practicum. (4 Credits)
