Get your ticket, merch, and concessions, because we'll be heading to the theater! In this semester's study of drama, we'll look at several genres of comedy. We'll go to see the battle of the sexes in Classical Actors Ensemble's production of William Shakespeare's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. We'll look at the "laughing comedy" of the eighteenth-century, discuss the absurdist drama of Samuel Beckett's WAITING FOR GODOT, and trace the evolution of the Broadway musical. We will analyze the relationship between teacher and student as we study Paula Vogel's AND BABY MAKES SEVEN and the work of her protegee, Sarah Ruhl in THE CLEAN HOUSE and DEAD MAN'S CELL-PHONE. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement.
