Program Overview
Grab a sword and break a leg! This program will center on the annual festival of classical theater in Almagro (La Mancha), home to the world-renowned Corral de Comedias. In addition to studying, rehearsing, and performing various classical plays, from literary and practical perspectives, students will have the unique opportunity to attend representations by professional troupes and to comment on their work in round-table discussions with actors, directors, technicians, and professors from Spanish universities. Cultural excursions will include the famous "Ruta de Don Quixote" and visits to theaters and museums in Madrid and Almagro. Students will share rooms in an apartment hotel in Madrid’s historic city center; each studio apartment has a kitchenette. Meals not included.
