Bristol Community College's Theatre program will devise and perform an original piece of theatre at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world's largest performing arts festival.
Bristol's theatre program students will write and develop the production during the upcoming fall and spring semesters, before traveling to Edinburgh, Scotland to perform their work for international audiences.
The production will be directed by the program’s Artistic Director David Ledoux and assisted by The Glass Horse Project Theatre Founder and former student Korey Pimental. The initiative will also be coordinated with support from the International Collegiate Theatre Festival (ICTF).
Fundraising events for this once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity are currently being planned, and a comprehensive campaign will be launched this spring. To donate to this initiative, please click here.
From the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Website: "Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city to present shows for every taste. From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival caters for everyone and includes theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events."
Bristol’s Theatre program is an Associate of Arts, in liberal arts & sciences, that provides hands-on training and experience, allowing students to learn and refine their craft as they perform. Students can smoothly transfer to a four-year institution or seek work in the performing arts.
