Here is the web page listing the nominees and winners of the 2004 Tony Awards, the theatre's equivalent of the Oscars (http://www.tonyawards.com/en_US/nominees/index.html). Read through the synopses of both nominees and winners. Can you get an idea of what genres these plays and musicals fall into? Is one genre represented more than others?

The six most common dramatic genres were discussed in chapter 3, but there are many other genres to explore. Check out the various genres listed here http://www.theatrelinks.com/. Some you may be familiar with and some you may not. Have you ever seen a Noh play? Experienced Theatre of Cruelty?
