THE 215 - Soldiers on Stage

Semester Hours: 4

Over the semester, students will be introduced a variety of entertainments provided for the American military since the early 20th century. While discovering different live performances for troops offered by civilians or soldiers as well as analyzing dramatic scripts that feature soldier and/or veteran characters, students will also be re-viewing Americana’s history at both times of war and peace. Videos, audio clips, archival materials, guest lecturers, and independent research projects will be supplemented by service-learning projects coordinated with nearby active U.S. military bases and/or veteran organizations.
