"College Town: Holy Cross Students Spend Four Weeks Studying British Theater"

The Telegram & Gazette's weekly higher education column, College Town, highlighted one of the newest opportunities offered through the College of the Holy Cross' Study Abroad Program—a four-week summer immersion trip to explore English art and culture in the city of London.

In addition to taking in 24 plays, visiting 27 museums and attending two concerts, participating students took daily classes in criticism.  “Most people have a lot of trouble telling the difference between something that they find lively and engaging and something that’s merely entertaining. We hope that when our students come out of this program—and this is true of all of our theater classes—that they are more discerning,” said Steve Vineberg, professor of theatre, who co-taught the London program with Ed Isser, professor and chair of the theatre department.
