US 252 Black Theater Matters
(4 credits)
Does Black theater matter? How does it matter? Why does it matter? This course surveys significant plays and performances created by and about African Americans from the 19th-21st Centuries. Play texts, contextual readings and class discussions will allow us to examine how the stage has reflected and sparked important national conversations about identity, equality, democracy, race, class and gender as they have unfolded throughout American history, and as they continue to impact the present. Where possible and practical, we will seek to attend theatrical performances and interact with contemporary professional artists and scholars whose work is transforming the field.
