Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts, Miami University, Theatre.
This creative thesis functions as a two-part exploration of locating the intersection of theory and practice as it relates to the overlapping of theatre, performance, and African American studies. This thesis was accompanied with Miami University’s 2010 production of A Song for Coretta. With a specific focus on playwright Pearl Cleage and her play, A Song for Coretta, this thesis examines how African American history, culture, and experiences become an integral part of the total theatre process; be it playwriting, performing, researching, or directing.
