Course Overview: FPA 491
This course is designed to have students experience Irish Theatre by attending top tier Irish productions in New York City as well as attending world renowned Irish Theatre in the cities of Galway and Dublin. Also, while in Ireland, students will get a tour of the backstage areas of these theatres and embark on full day tours of the most majestic and important sites around the Emerald Isle. Excursions include visits to Trinity College-where an original Book of Kells is housed-as well as site visits and tours of Giants Causeway, Belfast, Dunluce, Glendalough, Kilkenny, the Cliffs of Moher and the Wicklow Mountains, just to name a few of the fantastic locales we will visit!
