Question 1 2 / 2 pts

Who argued for dramatic unity, the concept that theatre should be a

unified, coherent creation?

Sophocles

Aeschylus

Aristophanes
Correct!Correct! Aristotle

Ancient Greek theater provides the backbone for Western

civilization’s performance traditions. Its great tragic playwrights,

Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles, and its early comic

playwrights, Aristophanes and Menander, established the structure

upon which Western drama evolved. Aristotle’s Poetics (c. 335–

323 b.c.) formalized the conventions of Western dramaturgy. The

most important of these conventions was Aristotle’s call for

dramatic unity, arguing that drama was to be a coherent, unified

creation.

Question 2 2 / 2 pts

By the 1960s, some of the best American directors, actors, and works of

theatre were based:

In New Orleans' night clubs.
In famous Broadway venues like the Majestic Theatre.
In Europe's renowned cabarets.
Correct!Correct! In off-Broadway venues like Circle in the Square.

Question 3 2 / 2 pts

Many great playwrights in the 1960s and 1970s had their beginnings in

regional, experimental, and off-Broadway theaters.

Correct!Correct! The Glass Menagerie

Question 6 2 / 2 pts

Which of the following contributed to shrinking audiences at Broadway

theaters in the 1960s?

Broadway's unpopular emphasis on political radicalism and artistic
experimentation.
The shift of population and capital to suburban housing developments.
Correct!Correct! Two of these are true.
The new ubiquity of television.

Question 7 2 / 2 pts

Marlon Brando studied "Method acting" with which distinguished actor as

his teacher?

Jessica Tandy
Correct!Correct! Stella Adler
Kim Hunter
Elia Kazan
Konstantin Stanislavsky

Question 8 2 / 2 pts

Which type of theatre includes exaggerated costumes and gestures,

colorful masks and make-up, and character types such as the "chivalrous

commoner?"

Noh
Bunraku
Commedia dell’arte
Correct!Correct! Kabuki

The late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries also saw the

emergence of Japanese Kabuki and Bunraku theater forms. From

the time of its first performances, Kabuki appealed to less

sophisticated audiences than did the already established and far

more deliberate Noh theater. Kabuki is an actor-oriented theater,

relying upon thundering voices, exaggerated costumes and

gestures, and colorful makeup and masks. Actors specialize in

specific character types, like the ninja (shadow warrior),

the otokodate (the “chivalrous commoner”), and

the onnagata (female impersonation). Chikamatsu Monzaemon,

generally recognized as Japan’s greatest dramatist, wrote for both

the Kabuki and Bunraku theaters. Bunraku began in the late

sixteenth century, when puppeteers, storyteller-narrators, and

players of the shamisen, a three-stringed instrument, united as

performance troupes. Ironically, Kabuki, with human performers, is

a highly exaggerated performance art, while the Bunraku puppet

theater appears almost realistic by comparison.

Question 9 2 / 2 pts

Question 11 2 / 2 pts

Why did actors and directors create nonprofit and off-Broadway theaters

in the 1960s?

In order to create experimental works that would not necessarily receive a
popular response.
Correct!Correct!
Out of a desire to bring in big audiences with sure-fire hits.
In response to the HIV/AIDS crisis in America.
In an effort to compete with newly popular television programming.

Question 12 2 / 2 pts

The fact that many of his plays were made into films helped increase the

popularity of which comedic playwright?

Sam Shepard
August Wilson
Cole Porter
Tony Kushner
Neil Simon
Correct!Correct!

Question 13 2 / 2 pts

Which playwright challenged the hypocrisy of Senator Joseph McCarthy's

anticommunist hearings in one of his well-known plays?

Edward Albee
Tony Kushner
Sam Shepard
Correct!Correct! Arthur Miller
Tennessee Williams

Question 14 2 / 2 pts

Which type of theatre sought to move the audience toward enlightenment

through spiritual performances meant to invoke the metaphysical and the

divine?

Medieval Theatre
Modern Theatre
Sanskrit Theatre
Correct!Correct!
Classical Theatre

The tragedies also developed from a medieval and classical

model. Actually, they were most influenced by the theories of the

Roman scholar Horace, who had argued that tragedy was the

depiction of the lives of people of high station, while comedy was

to focus upon the lives of those lower on the social scale (clearly,

the ruling class was not to be laughed at). In tragedy a story was to

begin in prosperity and end in adversity—the fall of the great man.

Comedy was to begin with a problem that was to grow in

complication but be resolved happily.

Question 16 2 / 2 pts

Which play tells the story of a manufacturer who causes the death of a

number of fighter pilots and eventually one of his own family members?

Death of a Salesman

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Question 17 2 / 2 pts

center located in Washington D.?

The Living Theater
The Delacorte Theater
The Public Theater

Question 18 2 / 2 pts

contemporary African American drama?

David Mamet
Tennessee Williams
Sam Shepard
Arthur Miller
Correct!Correct! August Wilson

Question 19 2 / 2 pts

Which playwright is known for his profane, rapid-fire dialogue and his

facility with language?

Tennessee Williams
Arthur Miller
Sam Shepard
ou Answeredou Answered Deals with the destructive relationship between a husband and wife

Question 22 2 / 2 pts

Western modern theatre is considered to have begun with which

playwright?

Shakespeare
Anton Chekhov
Molière
Correct!Correct! Henrik Ibsen

The Western “modern” theater is widely considered to have begun

in the 1860s with the domestic dramas of Norway’s Henrik Ibsen.

In Ibsen’s drama, one feels as though the plot has been drawn

from the events of real life. This intimate style of drama was the

antithesis of Romanticism and a strong rebuttal to the argument

that the stage was merely an arena for fantastical make-believe.

Ibsen’s work was followed in the 1890s by a flurry of great plays,

many of them concerning real people involved in deeply personal

struggles. The brief career of Russia’s Anton Chekhov was

perhaps the foremost example of this close examination of a

disaffected society occupied by people for whom great effort went

into a grim and cheerless existence.

Question 23 2 / 2 pts

According to this week's performance media, members of the Greek

chorus likely learned their chorus role as part of:

None of these are correct.

which item?
