Dear Colleagues,
 
Registration for the 2014 Classroom @ The Fringe closes in March.  We 
shall be very grateful if you could forward this information to your 
students and faculty colleagues.  Classroom is a unique non performing 
opportunity for students of theatre and media to attend the 2014 Edinburgh 
Festival Fringe.  Full information and registration online is available at 
www.edinburghclassroom.com 
 
Classroom @ The Fringe is a brand new 2 week residential enrichment study 
course, held in conjunction with the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Queen 
Margaret University in August 2014.
 
The programme was developed in response to theatre faculty requesting a 
easy way for their students to come and revel in the creative energy that 
is the Fringe, in a non performing capacity and on an independent basis. 
At the same time the Fringe is so vast, attending unaccompanied can be 
quite a daunting prospect for many students (and faculty too).   We 
believe Classroom @ The Fringe is the answer.  It is open to all 
individual students and faculty, and suitable for students of theatre, 
film and media arts.  It offers security, expert guidance and some 
structure to the time in Scotland, combined with plenty of opportunities 
to explore the 24/7 theatre scene by themselves or in small groups.
 
What is Classroom @ The Fringe?  In a nutshell it’s a 2 week residential 
course in Edinburgh during the Fringe in August 2014.  Participants will 
see fantastic theatre, attend stimulating workshops and group discussions 
and get to enjoy one of the world's great capital cities as it hosts the 
greatest arts festival in the world.
 
Hosted by top US, Canadian and Scottish theatre faculty, Classroom will 
feature a fantastic range of daily workshops on the tranquil campus of 
Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh.  There will also be lots of time to 
attend many Fringe productions, take in some sightseeing and enjoy great 
camaraderie in the company of other students of theatre and media who have 
travelled to Edinburgh for the very same purpose.
 
So please forward the word about this wonderful opportunity to your 
students or faculty colleagues, and encourage them to visit the Classroom 
website at http://www.edinburghclassroom.com for full details and 
registration.   Registration is now open and early bird registration by 
October 31st entitles students to a free ticket to a performance of the 
famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo at the Castle.
 
Space is strictly limited to 100 participants only.   Professors 
interested in bringing their own small group of students, please just send 
us an email for special pricing details.
 
In addition, a great looking Classroom flyer is headed your way in the US 
Mail, please look for it.  We will be very grateful if you can post it 
prominently in your department.   Please Email us at 
info at edinburghclassroom.com if you need additional copies or if someone 
snags your copy before it reaches your desk.
 
All logistics are handled by theatre study tour experts, Select Travel 
Study, so you know your students will be in great hands during their 
Edinburgh experience.
 
Wishing you a fantastic spring semester and thank you for your support. 
Please accept our apologies for any cross list postings.
 
 
With very best wishes,
