Roman Holiday: Bridging Disciplinary Divides through Special Programs.
Chansky, Dorothy
Theatre Topics, v11 n2 p131-44 Sep 2001
Describes a week-long multidisciplinary program (in association with a theatre history survey course) called "Roman Holiday: Classical Comedy/Contemporary Commentary" which featured guest lectures; a student-directed production; a video screening; and the presentation of Hollywood films. Notes that the program addresses the disparity between the central position of Roman culture in the western academy and its plays' marginal position in the university theatre world. Advocates this kind of programming. (PM)
