Theatre History in a Changing Present

This course will be an introduction to the offerings in theatre history, theory and practice offered at Brown University and environs in relation to a changing American Theatre. Each week will feature an original guest speaker from TAPS or other affiliate departments/institutions to expand your understanding. First Look Production is included in this course. This production process is a companion production experience to course work done in the fall semester. Students will experience the full process of revising and staging original works, with opportunities to work as actor and/or director, playwright, producer—actively applying conceptual knowledge gained from first semester courses.
