Course Description:

The period between 1940 and 1960 was a vibrant one for the American Musical Theatre. In contrast to the “revues” and “follies” of the early 20th century, these musicals had plots where the action moved forward via acting, singing and dancing. Subjects expanded to include exotic locales, the immigrant experience, spousal abuse, and racism. Join us for an extensive look at this “Golden Age,” when musicals were forever changed. We'll focus on musicals created by the famous team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. We'll meet at the historic Lighthouse Cinema in Pacific Grove for films on the big screen with concessions available for purchase (real popcorn anyone?).
