THTR 340 Queer Theater
What is queer theater and what can it do? Is it an identity and/or a practice? How does it center LGBTQ+ lives, and how has it and its reception changed over time? Analyzing queer, U.S.-based theater from 1980 to today, we will explore LGBTQ+ and two-spirit performances that are queer in content and form. Students will queer a normative piece of theater, write a queer play, and develop their own queer theater canon.
