LAS 254 - Multicultural Theater
Present day African-American, Asian American, and Latino/Latina playwrights, as well as gay and feminists artists, struggle with a remarkable range of tragic/comic conflicts. Students will examine late 20th and 21st century plays, solo performance texts, essays and poetry, as well as view films, documentaries, and live stage productions. We will explore issues critical to diverse cultures: the search for personal identity and purpose; the nature and causes of prejudice and discrimination; the impact of racial and homophobic violence; the struggle to create community; and the hunger for artistic expression. (3 hours)
This seminar will satisfy the multicultural core requirement.
