Description
Stacy Wolf (Princeton) will discuss her book Beyond Broadway: The Pleasure and Promise of Musical Theatre in America.
The
idea of American musical theatre conjures up images of bright lights
and big city, but its lifeblood is found in local and amateur
productions. Wolf considers the widespread presence and persistence of
musical theatre in U.S. culture, and examines it as a live, pleasurable,
participatory experience.
The talk will conclude with an interview featuring members of the UMBC Musical Theatre Club.
Sponsored by the Department of Theatre, the Dresher Center for the Humanities, and the Center for Innovation, Research, and Creativity in the Arts (CIRCA).
