Edinburgh Summer Program

One of the most challenging and life changing experiences that the Pepperdine Theatre Program offers is the Edinburgh Summer Program. The Pepperdine University Theatre program has participated in the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival since 1985. This popular bi-annual program always runs at full capacity and serves as an exclusive academic program for theatre majors. Each year we interview 50 to 60 hopeful students for the limited 30-33 slots. We stress professionalism and an ensemble work ethic within the parameters of discipline and accountability. Only our best and brightest students are selected as part of the Edinburgh Ensemble.

Program Overview

The program runs seven-and-a-half weeks commencing in London, England and concluding onsite the last three weeks in Edinburgh, Scotland.
