Bridging the gap between the classroom and the stage, Claire Trevor School of the Arts Dean Tiffany López and Department of Drama Chair Joel Veenstra and South Coast Repertory’ Artistic Director David Ivers and Managing Director Suzanne Appel have partnered on a new program – “The Next Stage” – that immerses MFA theatre students in professional theatre. “The Next Stage” will pair mentorship from SCR’s artists and leaders with invaluable onstage experience, classroom instruction and theatre attendance opportunities. “Expanding South Coast Repertory’s 50-plus year education mission to include professional training for MFA students from UC Irvine is the kind of investment that will provide generations of dividends, paid in spectacular live theatre experiences for our audiences,” Appel said. |
