Ryan Lindsay Bartz ('07), Romina Memoli ('09) and Melanie Leeds ('08) spent six weeks in the United Kingdom and worked at the largest fringe festival in the world this summer, thanks to Hamilton's Theater department. The students spent two weeks at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff training for the fringe by building a replica of the venue and running a few shows before heading up to Scotland. In Edinburgh they worked at Venue 13 where they were the running crew, box office managers, and assistant venue managers.
Memoli was lighting designer for the shows the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama brought to the venue. Up to seven shows a day came through the venue so work was intense but rewarding. It was an invaluable experience that they thank the department for giving them.
