Berkeley, Anne
Theatre Topics, v11 n1 p19-29 Mar 2001
Offers a theoretical basis for undergraduate theatre studies that stresses the participation, democratization, and popularization that are necessary to sustain the arts in American society. Argues that the curriculum should be reoriented to emphasize theatre's functional value by building on students' already acquired and practiced aesthetic creativity in everyday life. (PM)
