description: This book was designed to provide support for a comprehensive introductory course about contemporary American theater. Diversity as a theme seems to me to be something that the theater has always fostered, and it's a force that provides new power for the engines of dissent that have always driven American intellectual culture. In this case the lectures and play selections focus on recent and contemporary theatrical practice, bu with some historical awareness of the traditional forces that have shaped that practice. Here is a list of the The Trojan Women, Euripides; As You Like It, Shakespeare; Kagekiyo, Seami; Scapin or the Adventures of a Practical Joker, Moliere; Hedda Gabler, Ibsen; The Importance of Being Earnest, Wilde; Trifles, Glaspell; Pullman Car Hiawatha, Wilder; Yes is for a Very Young Man, Stein; Take a Giant Step, Petterson; A Late Snow, Chambers; Gemini, Innaurato; Abingdon Square, Fornes; And the Soul shall Dance, Yamauchi; Body Indian, Gieogamah
