THR 101 Introduction to Theatre

The purpose of Introduction to Theatre is to increase students' understanding, appreciation, and critical perceptions of the theatrical art form. Readings and lectures will focus on the elements of theatrical practice, artists, and innovators of theatre throughout history and on the theatre's development as an art form and a social phenomenon. Participation in class forum discussions and sharing of critiques and short reports will offer avenues to explore students' individual theatrical interests, and attendance at theatrical events will offer first-hand experience in theatre arts.
