The course, Introduction to Theatre (DRAM 1310), takes place Wednesday, May 18, 2011, through Monday, May 23, 2011 in New York City. With no pre-requisites required, the class is open to everyone; even non-traditional students can enroll for the course through the college’s continuing education department.

Members of the class will see four Broadway shows; take part in acting, set design and stage combat clinics with New York Theatre professionals; enjoy a harbor cruise around Manhattan; complete a guided walking tour of the theatre district; gain admission to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island; and tour NBC Studios and Radio City Music Hall.
