THTR 286 Theater and Sports

In this course, students will explore the complex relationship between theater and sports, with a particular focus on plays and musicals which feature sports as their subject matter. Students will examine common sports tropes in entertainment, like driven underdogs, and will explore thorny ethical issues related to sports, including doping, cheating and sports betting. Students will also engage with complicated questions about how sports plays engage with gender, sexuality, race and disability. [H, V]
