become familiar with the 20th century German theater that grew out of the
Cabaret tradition.In addition to reading 6-7 plays, students will read several
of Brecht's writing about epic theater, do scene work using Brecht's
"Lehrstueck" model, and will ultimately participate as technical crew and
actors in a multi-media play production of RC Deutsches Theater" April 2-4,
