THETR-266 Intro to Theatre: 20th Century
Picking up chronologically where THETR 265 leaves off, this survey course is designed to provide students with an understanding of modern Western theatre. Beginning with a melodrama, plays will include representative works of realism, naturalism, expressionism, epic theatre, theatre of the absurd, and metatheatricality. Lectures and class discussions will explore how these concepts translate to acting and production techniques, as well as what they imply as artistic responses to a modern and post-modern world. Satisfies a core requirement for Theatre Majors and the VPATH requirement.
