Description: 

Over the years this course has canvassed the Washington theater scene and discovered a wealth of politically and socially attuned material on DC stages. Washington has, rather surprisingly, emerged as the second most vibrant theatrical cit in the nation, surpassing Chicago and Los Angeles in number of performances offered, audience in attendance, and union actors appearing in Equity-contracted productions. This class is a Theater Appreciation course, with an emphasis on viewing plays in performance and responding to them in weekly journal entries.
