Understanding how theatre is received and experienced--its aesthetic properties, how audiences respond and have responded, and the range and methods of popular and scholarly critical analysis. Gaining a foundational and experiential knowledge of how to make theatre, including developing skills in one or more areas--e.g., acting, construction, design, directing, dramaturgy, or playwriting.
