THEA 110 Introduction to Theatre
(3-0-3) This course is an introduction to theatre as an art form, including its historical and organizational structures and satisfies the area studies-humanities for general education. By spending class and homework time thinking about philosophical assumptions, cultural practices and historical moments different than our own (in Classical Greece, Elizabethan England, Medieval Japan, Modern Europe, 20th century United States and elsewhere), students will connect themselves to universal human impulses, gain perspective on the varieties of human expression and experience and consider opportunities for contributing to their communities, both artistically and civically. This course satisfies the HUM I requirement for general education.
