Course Schedule – Fall 2024 / Performing Arts / GREAT PLAYS
Coordinators: Roy Clary, Wayne Cotter, Frieda Lipp
Important American and European plays are presented. Each session begins with a brief biography of the playwright followed by a “staged reading” of the play.
Great Plays offers Quest members an opportunity to direct and perform staged readings of noteworthy plays from around the world for their fellow class members. Following each play, the audience is encouraged to share their insights and observations. Who knows? Great Plays could bring out your inner thespian!
