Professor and Chair of Drama
BA, University of California-Santa Cruz; MFA, Yale University
The department provides for the study of the history of drama and theater from the Greeks through the 20th century, including considerable emphasis on non-Western drama and nonliterary theatrical traditions, as well as work in acting, directing, design, and playwriting. This study of theater history is multidisciplinary and requires students to engage politics, social sciences, and philosophy, as well as other art forms.
