Please Note: In the online version of this course for Fall 2020, to optimize student learning and community, our large course sections will be split into smaller neighborhoods of approx. 20 students that will meet with the professor 1x week for half an hour (during regularly scheduled meeting times). You will also work independently with a small discussion group throughout, and follow along with course content asynchronously (filmed theatre productions, short lecture videos, reading, quizzes, etc). You will be able to work with friends if you are taking the course together, or make new ones! On the first day of class, we all will meet at the regularly scheduled time on Zoom to review the syllabus, go over how everything will work, and answer questions.  I am so looking forward to meeting and working with you!  Questions?

From Hamlet to Hamilton, THDA 435 Intro To Theatre covers highlights from theatre history, theatre now, & the theatre of tomorrow, and fulfills the FPA DIscovery Requirement. You will see live UNH Theatre & Dance productions and filmed theatre, take part in creative assignments, and find out the answer to: What is theatre?  Where did it come from? Who makes it and how? What makes theatre special? How do I get free and cheap tickets?  What will be the theatre of the future?    

Students say:  I loved this project.  We all really bonded with each other and I think I made a new group of friends!  I’m glad I took this class with friends.  I’ve never taken a theatre class and never did something like this but I had a lot of fun.
