THEA 10.71 Plays OnStage: Acting Comedy

An advanced acting class in the art of performing comedy. Building on the basics of Acting I, this course will examine how the fundamentals of acting are adapted to playing a heightened comedic text.  Students will be introduced to a broad range of comedic performance, past and present, from sketch comedy to standup to films and television, developing a vocabulary of reference points, styles, and approaches to be applied in their rehearsals of the text.  The course will culminate in a public presentation of the play. Roles may be shared.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
