HTA 470W - Current Trends in Professional Theatre


3 credit(s)
This course is designed to examine current trends in the production of drama in commercial and not-for-profit (regional) theatre over the last 40 years through the study of contemporary works in American, British, Irish and Music Theatre. This course also reflects the influence specific directors, dramaturgs, producers and other theatre professionals and institutions have upon the initial writing and development of a work. Students learn to dissect a wide range plays and libretti by modern authors and composers (in the case of musicals). The class is conducted in a seminar format with each session driven by individual presentations and discussion questions provided by both the students and instructor.
