About the BRIT Program

USF School of Theatre and Dance’s British International Theatre (BRIT) Program has been alive and well for more than 20 years, bringing a wide range of outstanding guest artists from the United Kingdom to work side by side with our TheatreUSF students. Professional directors and choreographers, leading actors in theatre, television and film, voice and speech experts and top rate designers have all been guest teachers and artists in residence. TheatreUSF will be forever thankful and grateful to the founders Hinks and Elaine Shimberg, Sir Cameron Mackintosh and Dan Doyle for their vision and financial recourses that make this program possible.

Current Production

In 2012-13 we will welcome director Helen Tennison as one of our our BRIT guest artists in residence. She will direct William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus -- a play about revenge, an exciting grisly and daring play. A play about how, without the civilizing power of a just state, humans are apt to return to a bestial untamed condition of lustful appetite. In this play the violence is so gruesome that Shakespeare's language is stretched until it breaks. For show information click here!
