BLACK EXPERIENCE THROUGH THEATER

Theater (THEA) Contemporary Arts

Course Description

(FORMERLY: CNTP 320) This course will examine the form and function of African American theater from the perspectives of some of its major presenters and participators. We will trace the development of African American theater from its African roots to minstrelsy, to the plays of integration and protest, and finally analyze examples of today's Black theater activity, including writers such as Suzan-Lori Parks and August Wilson.
