Staging America
Course NumberIA 0138-1
Course TitleStaging America
DepartmentInterdisciplinary Arts
CampusHampshire College
Course DescriptionThis class will take a close look at plays written in and about contemporary America, exploring new works by playwrights such as Rolin Jones, Gina Gionfriddo, Allison Moore, Tracy Letts, Yussef El Guindi, Kia Corthron and David Adjmi and companies such as The Civilians and Culture Clash! Students will be introduced to creative ways of analyzing play texts in preparation for theatrical production, be introduced to 'emerging voices' and read scripts 'hot off the press.' Through participation in Hartford Stage's Brand:NEW Festival, the class will have an opportunity to talk to playwrights about their recent work. The plays selected will offer us a lens with which to view our country and its diverse voices at a particularly dramatic time in history. REA, WRI.
