An Introduction to the Works of Stephen Sondheim: An Adult Education Enrichment Course
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>This paper is designed to be the framework for an adult education enrichment course introducing the works of Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930), the dominant composer/lyricist of American musical theatre in the second half of the twentieth century. As such, it is divided into three sections. The first section is an overview of musical theatre in America, beginning with The Black Crook (1866), and ending with a brief examination of the current state of musical theatre in this country. The second section is a short biographical sketch of Sondheim, including an examination of the contributions that Sondheim has made to the art form. The final section consists of lecture notes, recommended videos and recordings, and graphics and handouts for the specific lectures.</p>
