Theatre of Color in the United States

This course introduces students to the essential historical roots of the leading theatres of color in the United States: African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic-American, and Native American. Selected texts of both classic and contemporary plays representative of these four groups are read, discussed, and critiqued in written form and, whenever available concurrently in New York City, seen in production. This course is identical to BLS 3043. Students will receive credit for either THE 3043 or BLS 3043, not both.
