THEA 215 - Theatre and Social Change

Challenging plays unearth untellable truths, shed light on systems of injustice, and create empathy and compassion, for ourselves and others. Over the course of 4 weeks, students study contemporary plays that explore subjects related to social and racial injustice. Reading the plays together, students process and reflect using small group discussions, dialogue training, in class writing assignments, and increase the ability to discuss the issues using different modes of creative and performing arts.
