Students Experience World-Class Theatre at Stratford Festival 1
In August, 20 Bethel students from a variety of majors (accompanied by Associate Professor of Theatre

Each day was packed with activities such as meeting a stage manager, lighting designer and
participating in a question and answer time, in addition to taking in 11 shows
