You will write three very short papers analyzing the salient elements of a pertinent dramatic scene or a particular theatrical device in the plays we are reading. These are not research papers but simply your own analyses. Midterm: 25%. An hour midterm exam to test your character and play-excerpt recognition as well as your ability to explain (in brief) key thematic material in the plays. Quizzes/Exercises: 10%. Students will have several brief quizzes and exercises on the plays and our analytical approach to explicating dramatic texts. Creative Writing Exercise: 5%. Each student will try his or her hand at a small exercise in playwriting as per handout guidelines. Class Discussant Duty: 5%. Each student will select one day on the course schedule for which he or she will prepare questions to lead the class in the day’s discussion of the assigned play. Participation: 10%. You are required to participate actively and responsibly throughout the semester. Studying drama is a social activity, and your failure to participate will adversely affect you and your classmates. I divide the participation grade evenly into two areas: 1) Attention – (5%). Listening to the instructor and each other, without unrelated chatter 2) Speaking – (5%). Contributing regularly, in small-groups or whole-class discussion ____________________________________________________________________________ 2 ENG 108: American Playwrights Ade—Spring 2015 Course Policies Attendance: You are allowed three (3) absences (excused or unexcused) without penalty; for each additional absence, however, I will lower your final grade by one degree of letter grade (e.g. a B- becomes a C+). If you must miss class, contact me (phone/e- mail) as soon as possible. ______________________________________________________________________________ STEPS FOR TURNING IN PAPERS: 1. Ensure that the Microsoft Word document follows the College preferences for presentation: 1” margins; pagination (but not page 1); 12 pt. Times New Roman font; no added space in the “Line Spacing” default; Page 1, upper left corner info: your name, my name, “ENG 108” and the date; a title. 2. Double check that you have followed all the rules on the Style Sheet. 3. Run a “Spelling” check on your text and a “Word Count” to verify required length. 4. Make a hard-copy printout to staple and submit in class by the day it is due. If unable to print your paper, you may submit it as an email attachment to me. If possible, print your paper double-sided to save on paper. 5. No cover sheet or special binding needed. ______________________________________________________________________________ Late Work: All work (drafts, revisions, final papers, homework) is due at the beginning of class on the day I indicate. If you have an emergency, please contact me; as a general rule, however, I will not accept late work. You must be present in class, moreover, to get credit for your work. Final grades will be assigned using the standard formula: A 93-100 points B + 87-89 points C + 77-79 points D + 67-69 points A - 90-92 points B 83-86 points C 73-76 points D 60-66 points B - 80-82 points C - 70-72 points F - 0-59 points Students will conduct themselves in a manner befitting the new college policy on Academic Integrity. Consult “Student Regulations” for official definitions of cheating, misconduct, plagiarism, and providing false information (and their consequences) in your Undergraduate Catalogue. 3 ENG 108: American Playwrights Ade—Spring 2015 CLASS SCHEDULE [NOTE: All listings below are subject to change during the semester.] DATE TOPIC IN-CLASS ACTIVITY ASSIGNMENT M – 1/12 Introduction Syllabus; Drama elements W – 1/14 Critical Approach Semiotics: Actantial Models F – 1/16 Women Watching Trifles (Barlow book) M – 1/19 NO CLASS NO CLASS NO CLASS W – 1/21 Infernal Machine Machinal eps. 1-5 (Barlow book) F – 1/23 Infernal Machine Machinal eps. 6-9 (Barlow book) M – 1/26 Family Confines I All My Sons (Act 1) W – 1/28 Family Confines I All My Sons (Act 2) F – 1/30 Family Confines I All My Sons (Act 3) M – 2/2 Family Confines II The Glass Menagerie (Scenes 1-3) W – 2/4 Family Confines II The Glass Menagerie (Scenes 4-6) F – 2/6 Family Confines II The Glass Menagerie (Scene 7) M – 2/9 Early O’Neill “Abortion”; “Bound East for Cardiff” W – 2/11 Family Confines III Long Day’s Journey (Act 1) F – 2/13 Family Confines III Long Day’s Journey (Act 2) PAPER 1 DUE M – 2/16 Family Confines III Long Day’s Journey (Act 3) W – 2/18 Family Confines III Long Day’s Journey (Act 4) F – 2/20 MIDTERM EXAM MIDTERM EXAM MIDTERM EXAM M – 2/23 Race in Retrospect I Intimate Apparel (Act 1) W – 2/25 Race in Retrospect I Intimate Apparel (Act 2) F – 2/27 Race in Retrospect II Fences (Act 1) M – 3/2 Race in Retrospect II Fences (Act 2) W – 3/4 Just Business American Buffalo (Act 1) F – 3/6 Just Business American Buffalo (Act 2) 3/7 to 3/15 Spring Break M – 3/16 New Neighbors I A Raisin the Sun (Act 1) W – 3/18 New Neighbors I A Raisin the Sun (Act 2) F – 3/20 New Neighbors I A Raisin the Sun (Act 3) 4 ENG 108: American Playwrights Ade—Spring 2015 M – 3/23 New Neighbors II Clybourne Park (Act 1) PAPER 2 DUE W – 3/25 New Neighbors II Clybourne Park (Act 2) F – 3/27 Fractured Women I Funnyhouse of a Negro (handout) M – 3/30 Fractured Women II Three Tall Women (Act 1) W – 4/1 Fractured Women II Three Tall Women (Act 2) 4/2 to 4/6 EASTER BREAK W – 4/8 Social/Sexual Justice Angels in America, Part 1 F – 4/10 Social/Sexual Justice Angels in America, Part 1 M – 4/13 Social/Sexual Justice Angels in America, Part 2 CREATIVE WRITING EXERCISE DUE W – 4/15 Social/Sexual Justice Angels in America, Part 2 F – 4/17 Social/Sexual Justice Angels in America, Part 2 M – 4/20 Post-modern Comedy Six Degrees of Separation (Act 1) W – 4/22 UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM F – 4/24 Post-modern Comedy Six Degrees of Separation (Act 2) M – 4/27 Muslimerican Disgraced (Act 1) W – 4/29 Muslimerican Disgraced (Act 2) F – 5/1 Course Review PAPER 3 DUE T – 5/5 3:00 – 5:30 pm COURSE FINAL COURSE FINAL 5 .

Here are some helpful hints for your visit to the Marian Theatre. The top priority of our staff is to provide an enjoyable day of live theatre for you and your students. We offer you this study guide as a tool to prepare your students prior to the performance. SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDENT ETIQUETTE Note-able behavior is a vital part of theater for youth. Going to the theater is not a casual event. It is a special occasion. If students are prepared properly, it will be a memorable, educational experience they will remember for years. 1. Have students enter the theater in a single file. Chaperones should be one adult for every ten students. Our ushers will assist you with locating your seats. Please wait until the usher has seated your party before any rearranging of seats to avoid injury and confusion. While seated, teachers should space themselves so they are visible, between every groups of ten students. Teachers and adults must remain with their group during the entire performance. 2. Once seated in the theater, students may go to the bathroom in small groups and with the teacher's permission. Please chaperone younger students. Once the show is over, please remain seated until the House Manager dismisses your school. 3. Please remind your students that we do not permit: - food, gum, drinks, smoking, hats, backpacks or large purses - disruptive talking.

  • Community in August Wilson and Tony Kushner
    FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE COLLECTIVE: COMMUNITY IN AUGUST WILSON AND TONY KUSHNER By Copyright 2007 Richard Noggle Ph.D., University of Kansas 2007 Submitted to the Department of English and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ________________________ Chairperson, Maryemma Graham ________________________ Chairperson, Iris Smith Fischer ________________________ Paul Stephen Lim ________________________ William J. Harris ________________________ Henry Bial Date defended ________________ 2 The Dissertation Committee for Richard Noggle certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE COLLECTIVE: COMMUNITY IN AUGUST WILSON AND TONY KUSHNER Committee: ________________________ Chairperson, Maryemma Graham ________________________ Chairperson, Iris Smith Fischer ________________________ Paul Stephen Lim ________________________ William J. Harris ________________________ Henry Bial Date approved _______________ 3 ABSTRACT My study examines the playwrights August Wilson and Tony Kushner as “political” artists whose work, while positing very different definitions of “community,” offers a similar critique of an American tendency toward a kind of misguided, dangerous individualism that precludes “interconnection.” I begin with a look at how “community” is defined by each author through interviews and personal statements. My approach to the plays which follow is thematic as opposed to chronological. The organization, in fact, mirrors a pattern often found in the plays themselves: I begin with individuals who are cut off from their respective communities, turn to individuals who “reconnect” through encounters with communal history and memory, and conclude by examining various “successful” visions of community and examples of communities in crisis and decay.
