USF CVPA School of Theatre & Dance

"It was an excellent opportunity for my students to be able to work with the TheatreUSF students and experience the BRIT Program. They gained an understanding of what it takes to produce a show of such high caliber and reinforces the importance of studying classical Shakespearean drama beginning at the high school level. It was the perfect chance for my high school students to see what only TheatreUSF has to offer."

Jim Rayfield | Theatre Teacher, Blake High School
"The BRIT Program from USF has had a big impact on the students at Blake High School for the past five years. Shakespeare is a part of our training here at Blake, and part of the openness of our students to the work comes, I think, from the very positive experiences that have come to them through the BRIT Program.

Recently our theatre students were treated to a full production of As You Like It which featured a striking production that brought a different approach to staging Shakespeare into their experience."

	K-12/Outreach "The BRIT Programs riches are too great not to share with the community. By touring the state, offering workshops, and preparing instructional videos for teachers, TheatreUSF embraces the next generation of theatre students."
	The BRIT Program's 2001 production of Shakespeare's As You Like It was performed at Blake High School. A scene from Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet performed at Miami-Dade Community College, South Campus in 1997.
