THE 101 Introduction to Theatre Arts

3 Credit(s) CEA

The course is designed to acquaint the student with the theatrical process and to familiarize the student with the creative roles of the playwright, director, actor, designer, and technician. An appreciation of theatre is acquired through the reading and viewing of plays - both on and off campus, a study of the text, class discussion, and written critiques of productions. The student’s creativity will be demonstrated by writing a short play and the completion of a design aspect of a play. Three lecture hours per week.
