Broadway isn't the entire course; I still spend some time on lecture and discussion of various important issues that I want the students to consider—commercial vs. experimental theatre, public funding of the arts, and so on. Students still take reading quizzes and they still write short papers on plays they attend. Yet they now learn how it all works not by reading a book but by engaging —virtually—with the questions that involve theatre professionals every day. By pretending to work on the theatrical process and breaking it down into a series of challenges, the students think actively and creatively, and they leave the course with a better understanding of the results, which they can enjoy from their seats in the audience.
