Works to be explored will include "Gypsy," "Company," "Follies," "A Little Night Music," "Sweeney Todd," "Into the Woods," "Assassins," and others as time allows. We will come to grips with recurring themes and musical approaches in his work; the nature of his collaborations with other musical theater artists, including performers, directors, producers, and writers; and the range of interpretation that those collaborators and others have brought to the shows. Requirements will include thorough preparation and active participation in class, short writing assignments, and a final project that will include research, creative, and performance options.
