Global Theater
THEA/ENGL 349

This course explores theater from around the world, with a particular focus on Asia, West Africa, and the Caribbean.  Students read classic plays alongside postcolonial, intercultural, and transcultural performance texts. Since the fall of 2013, Global Theater students have posted their independent research online as a resource for one another and the larger community. The original website has been archived and can be viewed here.

This website contains recent student research, and current and future students will continue to add to and revise the content on this site, creating a publicly available storehouse of images, video, and analysis on a variety of global theater forms.

Sincerely,

Christian DuComb
Associate Professor of Theater, Colgate University
