THEATRE APPRECIATION (CA247)

CA – Performing Arts Appreciation

Dover (Wyoming Church) | February 3, 2026-March 3, 2026

Tuesday: 2:30 PM-3:45 PM

This is a hybrid course. One section meets on site at the location listed; and one section meets online only.

How do we evaluate/interpret/appreciate a work of art? That is the question posed by Yasmina Reza in her play, ‘Art.’ Presented by UD’s Resident Ensemble Players (REP), this course explores the concept of art in its many forms, including the writing of the play. Attendance at the REP performance is encouraged, but not required. A second play (TBD) will also be discussed.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
