This course is designed to encourage students to critically
engage contemporary (primarily American) theater. Apart
from analyzing various playwrights, we will also
investigate the political significance and meaning of

students with the practical challenges associated with
directing and producing. The readings, discussions, and
assignments intend to address all these objectives.
