[NEW COURSE] We will learn about George Bernard Shaw, his work, and how Heartbreak House fits into the whole. Ideally some 10 participants will volunteer to read the play aloud act by act and discuss it and its preface. We will look at all that has to be done to get the show on stage: casting, scenic design, lighting design, sound design, and the rehearsal process. Discussion, Lecture, Reading, Workshop
