ENG 264 - Exploring the Fringe

Provides an immersion in the Orlando International Fringe Festival (OIFF), an internationally known alternative theater festival. Students attend performances; meet with performers, directors, and playwrights; and write reviews. Discussions cover historical, technical, cultural, and performance issues. Class size is limited to twelve (12) students. Although there are no required texts, a nonrefundable lab fee (covering fringe membership and tickets for all performances) must be paid in full by March 31st. Nota Bene: Because fringe performances often explore controversial topics, the class will encounter adult language, ideas, and situations.

Prerequisite(s): ENG 140 or equivalent.
