Go with director and teaching artist Tom Berger on a 2,800-year journey back to the early beginnings of the theatre. From Ancient Greece to Rome to Shakespeare to Hamilton, Berger modifies the course he created for Stagedoor Manor to cover how theatre has changed over the centuries as well as how theatre has affected and reflected the world around it. Part interactive lecture, part text analysis, and part exploring texts from every major era of history, Theatre History is a great way to get a more rounded and appreciative view of theatre and its importance to the world. This is a virtual class and will take place from your device at home!
$60 per student, ages 14 & up!
