Introduction to the works and contributions of underrepresented communities to American theatre. The course will identify and deconstruct the historical references and significance of major playwrights, composers, and producing theatres created by Asian/Pacific Americans; Black/African Americans; Latinx Americans; European-Americans; Indigenous Americans; and other diverse groups. The theatrical works crafted by these populations will include subjects of race/racism, stereotypes, oppression, class, people with disabilities, and gender role/identity. Topics will be covered through readings, lectures, discussions, video, in addition to required viewing of play and musical productions. (CSU, UC)

Theatre Arts

The Theatre Arts Department offers training, both theoretical and practical, in theatrical production, including performance, technical and business management aspects, as well as the serious study of the development of those aspects from the early Greeks up to the bright lights of Broadway. We believe that the creativity, the personal interaction and the excitement of participating in a performance are highly valuable experiences for any individual. The heightened awareness of beauty and truth are carried on into the later life of the student to perhaps enable him or her to appreciate more fully what is available.
