Big Experiences Lead to Bold Futures

Under the Launch career development platform, all students graduate with at least two experiential learning opportunities on their transcripts. Guaranteed.

This shortTREC program will count towards this out-of-the-classroom requirement in Drew’s rigorous curriculum.

Travel

First stop: London, for a full immersion in British theatre. Hit the West End for mainstream productions. Pay homage at Shakespeare’s Globe. Venture into the Fringe for theatre reimagined in pubs and warehouses. Second stop: Edinburgh, just in time for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world’s largest arts extravaganza, featuring nearly 50,000 performances across 300 venues.

Rethink

Theatre in British and Global Contexts

How do we read the sweep of British theatre, from Shakespeare and Shaw to Stoppard and Simon Stephens? What is its global context? How is a country’s culture reflected in its theatre product—and what makes British theatre so political?

Connect Theatre with Culture

Attend plays and theatrical productions almost daily, keeping a detailed play diary for critical analysis. Deepen your learning in class discussions and with guest speakers from the theatre world. Immerse yourself in British culture and conventions: take the tube, pop into the pub, and chat with fellow theatregoers. Assess your experiences, in and out of the theatre, by writing five academic papers.
