This paper discusses the creative use of information technologies to teach world theater in a course at Austin Peay State University (Tennessee). Compared with western theater, world theater demands a broader access to information than is generally available. The goal of the course is to compare various forms of theater using materials and human resources available only through technology. Students and faculty use e-mail, the World Wide Web, and distance learning venues to gather, research, and catalog world theater resources as well as to interview experts in specialized areas. Advantages and challenges encountered in teaching theater with new technologies are discussed. (Author/AEF)
