This is a survey course for primarily non-majors. Its aim is to impart an appreciation of the theatre as an artistic and humanizing experience. There will be discussion of the various elements that contribute to the development of theatre as a specialized art form including historical and cultural influences, staging styles and techniques, and the multiple genres of dramatic writing. Several plays illustrating the above will be read and attendance at selected performances is required.
Estimated from the original workload response buckets. Individual sections may differ.

OD for a theatre class- its a lot of work for an arts core- try and take arts core ABROAD if you can its just hard at BC- this class isn't the end of the world I learned a lot at least and nice guy but it's a lot of work- if you like theatre go ahead though good prof otherwise

Put in a ton of effort in this class and couldn't pull out the A. Tests are very hard with incredibly specific questions. He's also not a believer in partial credit. Very difficult for an intro class. Would not recommend.

A lot of work, too much for an art core. If you're looking to take an art core, take something or someone else.

Not an easy A at all. His tests have very specific questions, and I paid attention in class and took notes and still did poorly. The only actual acting is the final, the rest is reading plays which you can't chat your way through. One upside is there is no participation grade.

Shes really good. Class is easy and I'd recommend her if you want a low effort intro to theatre art core. If you read the plays she assigns the class you will get A, simple as that. Learned a lot about theatre from her class and I'm glad she was my professor for it.
