This THR 492 is a writing-enhanced, hands-on workshop on production dramaturgy—an exploration and application of the processes and resources to assist a creative team make better informed production choices.
Typically, the first hour of class will be a lecture-discussion focusing on Hamlet and Scenes from an Execution from a dramaturg’s perspective; the second hour will be supervised library and computer time developing individual dramaturgy blogs for a script of each student’s choosing.
As approved by the administration, credit for this course may substitute for any one of the three required writing-enhanced courses I teach during the regular year: Theatre History I (THR 360W), Theatre History II (THR 460W), and Theory and Criticism (THR 463W).
