AREL 830 - Staging the Nations; Contemporary American Drama, Its Protestations, Portayals and Proclamations

3 credits
This course will consider a rich spectrum of American dramatists from a cultural perspective and will center around expressions of identity, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity and regionality. Included in this exploration of contemporary multicultural and global voices will be the study of late 19th-century immigration theatre and other antecedents.  Material relevant to the themes and topics of the plays will augment their study.  Students will participate in in-class readings of the plays.  (No theatrical experience is needed.)  Attendance at a selected theatre performance is required..
