The course focuses on the roles within theatre. Students first explore the role of the actor as they develop skills to allow them to portray roles in monologues and dramatic and comedic scenes.

Students will analyze the influence of cultures; historical periods; social and political trends; prominent artists; and personal beliefs on the content and production of works. The second semester is focused on the roles of the playwright; designer & technician; director; and critic. The roles will be explored through production of student written and existing works. Acting skills will be expanded as the new roles are added to the complexity of production.
