In this course, students will research and build a basis of knowledge with regard to a human, social or ecological issue and use these findings to write for young audiences, will write a play for youth about the topic. In making choices on how to write the play and what areas of the topic to focus on, students will address the COR questions: Who am I and who can I become?, What are the needs and opportunities of the world?, and What is my role in building a more just and compassionate world? In further exploration of these questions, students will study the history and the elements of production and performance in the genre of Theatre for Young Audiences, as they produce and ultimately perform their play for Madison area school students.
