THEA 010. Black Theater and Performance

This course examines Black theater and performance traditions in the United States - from William Alexander Brown’s African Grove to the era of “Post-Black” plays. We will survey and analyze aesthetic innovations and transformations in the Black theatrical and dramaturgical imaginations and carefully consider the crucial role the stage has played in shaping perceptions and understandings of race.
