THE2014 ST: Stage to Screen

In this course, students will explore the differences between Theater and Film. Students will be assigned to watch a variety of recorded stage plays and musicals and the subsequent movies that have been made from them. We will examine how the original theatrical material was adapted for the screen and consider reasons for these changes and what it teaches us about each medium. This course will also include the study of plays, musicals, and movies that have socially vital messages and how they reflect a specific cultural context. Plays, musicals, and films under consideration for this course include Cats, Fences, and West Side Story. Students will participate in discussion, and analyze works, they may need to rent individual films for viewing. Credits: 3.000
