I taught a semester course for the first time last year. Students really enjoyed it, and especially liked studying In the Heights! They enjoyed staging scenes and learning choreography as well. But I thought it was important to offer some historical perspective, so they learned about Gilbert and Sullivan and the contribution of black Americans to musical theatre.

We are proposing a musical theatre class for next year and I am reaching out to this fabulous forum of colleagues to see if anyone has a course description example or ideas for curriculum so that we aren't reinventing the wheel.
Thanks in advance!
