THA 269 ADU - Script Analysis: Frm Page to Stage

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

Students will develop an appreciation of the theatrical arts by analyzing dramatic scripts as the basis of theatrical production. Various interpretive perspectives, including the historical/social context in which the scripts were written or set, will be examined. Finally, the impact that context has on race, class, gender and ethnicity issues in production will be explored. Students will take plays from their blue print state on the page, study ideas, theories and contexts to aid their imagination, and then create a working concept for some or all elements of theatre production for each play.

Prerequisite(s): None.
