FYS: Theater, Here and Now

3 Credits.

This First-Year Seminar introduces you to the vibrant world of theater in Baltimore. In class, we will read and discuss several plays before attending live performances of them. We will also study their various contexts (historical, theatrical, etc.), meet people involved in staging them now in Baltimore, and compare the experience of reading plays to seeing them performed. No prior experience with the theater is expected. Through this seminar, you will not only learn about theater; you will get to know a culture and community that make Baltimore special. *Please note: This course meets in the evening because our theatergoing will happen during class-time. On days when this is happening, class may start and end later, depending on the start time and length of the performance we are seeing. Those scheduling details will be settled before the semester begins and shared with all enrolled students.
