*denotes TheatreUSF British International Theatre Guest Artist

Orlando has always been an outsider... His longing for passion, adventure and fulfillment takes him out of his own time. Chasing a dream through the centuries, he bounds from Elizabethan England and imperial Turkey to the modern world. Will he find happiness with the exotic Russian Princess Sasha? Or is the dashing explorer Shelmerdine the ideal man? And what form will Orlando take on the journey - a nobleman, traveler, writer? Man or... woman?

BRITISH INTERNATIONAL THEATRE PROGRAM

The USF School of Theatre and Dance’s British International Theatre (BRIT) Program has been alive and well for more than 25 years, bringing a wide range of outstanding guest artists from the United Kingdom to work side by side with our TheatreUSF students.
