Project #1: Genres

You will be assigned a large city in the U.S. From that city, pick one professional theatre and one academic theatre. For each theatre, identify 10 current/future/recent productions that have been produced there. For each production title, identify the playwright and year of production. Then search the internet, post, and cite (with active link) for two different genre labels/quotes for each title. An example for Minneapolis' Guthrie Theatre (Professional):
_________________________________________
