Although the College does not offer a formal concentration in drama, College
students may construct an interdisciplinary program focusing on drama, theater,
and performance under the auspices of the Committee on General Studies in
the Humanities. Interested students should be prepared to submit a written
proposal for admission to the program as outlined in the General Studies
in the Humanities section of this catalog. All theater and drama courses
are available as electives for students concentrating in other areas.
Courses listed in this section approach drama and theater from diverse perspectives:
textual analysis of written plays; theory and history of drama as literature
and performance; theater in relationship to other performance practices,
such as music, ritual, and social, or political ceremonies; and the practice
of theater. Students should also investigate other courses taught by faculty
listed below, as well as courses listed in the Art and Design and Cinema
Studies sections of this catalog. In addition to the courses included in
this section, others are likely to be offered in the future. Some that represent
the range are: Shakespeare and His Dramatic Contemporaries, Contemporary
English Drama, and a two-course sequence on opera and literature (English);
Brecht und das epische Theater (German); Law and Equity in Shakespeare's
The Merchant of Venice and Measure for Measure (Humanities);
La Littérature dramatique du moyen âge, Beckett bilingue,
and Le Théâtre contemporain (French); Teatro
hispánico (Spanish); Gombrowicz's Prose and Drama (Polish); and
Literature of Bengal: Calcutta Theater (South Asian Languages).
For further information about proposals or requirements, contact Herman
Sinaiko (G-B 505, 702-7987) or JoAnn Baum (G-B 309, 702-7092); for information

opportunities at University Theater, contact Curt Columbus at University
Theater (RC 303, 702-3414). Registration for courses in the practice of
theater is by consent of instructor only. Check the Time Schedules
