THE 103 - Introduction to the Theatre (3 Cr.)

*beginning Fall 2014 title changing to “The Theatre Experience” (GEN. ED. #9) (LER–TXT)
Students learn to recognize how meaning is constructed in the theatre. Play texts are used as a jumping-off place to examine the literature of theatre—structure, form, genre, and style and how a play text is transformed into theatre through acting, design, and direction. The historical context of plays—performance conventions, architecture, and audience expectations – will serve as a way of understanding contemporary theatre. The student’s ability to decipher the ways and means of communication in the theatre will be demonstrated in written critiques of live performance. Fall semester. Eng and Department.
