This class was an awesome one. It was certainly one of my favorites, thus far. Although the class was called “Issues in Theatre” it was definitely more of a “Theatre Basics.” It taught me all these new things regarding big moments in theatre history. The staple playwrights were discussed like the Greeks and Shakespeare, among many others. A huge takeaway from this class, that I had, was understanding how there is almost never a play that is “just for fun.” So many of them always have an underlying political tone, or something like that.
Link This piece I just linked is actually a very special one. Our class final was a project where we had to write a children’s theatre play. I wrote this completely original story, which contains 3 protagonists: a cat, a dog and a mouse. They all struggle over food, and it brings them together in the end. Read it and find out the details yourself! 🙂
