This program will immerse students within the origins and influences of ancient Greek civilization, culture and theatre. 

Participants will travel to Greece during the Athens festival where students will have the opportunity to experience a wide variety of performances in Classic Greek Drama, Tragedy, Comedy, as well as traditional dance and music.  Students will also visit world class archaeology sites and museums offering exhibits in ancient Greek culture. 

Students will be expected to trace the evolution of music theatre from early Greek origins and explain how these seeds grew into more complex art forms by finding examples while in Greece.
