THE 101 Introduction to the Theater
Designed for the liberal arts student, this course explores many aspects
of the theater: the audience, the actor, the visual elements, the role of
the director, theater history, and selected dramatic literature. The goal
is to heighten the student's appreciation and understanding of the art of
the theater. Play readings may include Antigone, The Menaechmus
Brothers, Hamlet, Tartuffe, A Doll's House,
The Cherry Orchard, A Dream Play, The Good Woman of Setzuan
, The Glass Menagerie, Krapp's Last Tape, and The Mystery of
Irma Vep. The student will be expected to attend and write critiques
of the Wabash College Theater productions staged during the semester he is
enrolled in the course. This course is intended for the non-major/minor
and is most appropriately taken by freshmen and sophomores.
