Intro to Theater Questions

The final project for this class consists of a series of short essays. The paper has two main parts.

Part One

Consider the following statement:

“All college students should be required to successfully complete one course in art, music, or theatre.”

Write an essay in which you either agree or disagree with the statement. Make sure you defend your position as effectively as possible.

Regardless of which side you take, you should explain what the rationale would be for such a requirement.

After providing this rationale, you should explain why this rationale is, or is not, sufficient to require a fine arts course.

Part Two

The primary purposes for a course such as this are to help you develop an appreciation for theatre and to make you a more sophisticated theatre attendee. Courses like this are part of what is considered a good liberal arts education. With this in mind:

Write a short essay in which you attempt to prove to me that you have fulfilled the purposes of the course as stated above. What do you know, or what can you do, that might demonstrate to me that you have a greater appreciation for the theatre, that you are a more sophisticated theatre attendee, and that your are a more liberally educated person.

Identify the value of the course. In other words, explain what difference it makes that you took this course and experienced what you experienced and learned what you learned.
