Professor Esther Kim Lee
The course introduces students to major elements of theater by examining six plays drawn from different periods in history. By closely reading and viewing productions of the plays, students will gain the knowledge to interpret and analyze plays both as texts and as staged artform. Visiting theater artists will acquaint students with the principles of playwriting, designing, directing, and acting, and course assignments will give students the opportunity to explore the elements of theater as researchers and artists.
187S Reading Theater (and its New York-based version, 187A Reading Theater in New York) can be taken as an Area 2 or Gateway class, but not both.
Not open to students who have taken Theater Studies 115.
