PMA 1174
FWS: Backcountry Onstage: Theatre in and of Rural America

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024. Courses of Study 2023-2024 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

The 1920s saw the transition in the United States from being a majority rural nation to a majority urban one. A century later, though rural populations have shrunken, their symbolic space on the American stage has continued to loom large. From Thorton Wilder's Our Town to Samm-Art William's Home to John Cariani's Almost, Maine, bucolic valleys, forests, fields, and small towns have proved fertile ground for American dramatists of the last century to investigate questions of politics, identity and belonging.
