THEA 108 — F Multicultural Perspectives in American Theatre 3 Units
54 hours lecture per term. This course provides students with critical perspectives on race and gender to engage with Indigenous, Hispanic-Latinx/e/o/a, Black, Asian and LGBTQIA+ theatre within the American cultural landscape as well as the global diaspora. In this introductory class students will read and engage with contemporary plays that represent and complicate the rich variety of diverse perspectives within America and abroad. This course will explore the genesis of the contemporary Multicultural Theatre landscape, the cultural positionality into which a particular play places itself, and the socio-political climate in which these plays were created. Attendance at live theatrical productions produced by the Fullerton College Theatre Arts Department outside of regularly-scheduled class times is required. This course fulfills the Multicultural Education Requirement for graduation. (Degree Credit) (CSU) (UC)
