The school is renowned for the success of their graduates in the world of professional theatre. Students in this off campus Interim course travel to Ireland for a three-week intensive study of Irish theatre and acting, see theatre in Dublin, and have the opportunity to live in the heart of Ireland's fabulous capital city. Students also engage in a critical study of how the world of acting interacts with the Christian life through daily discussions, readings, and journal writing.
