Three courses will run from July 27 to August 21 in the CSULB Theatre building. Students must pay a fee -- $4,000 for nine units or $2,500 for no credit -- and audition in order to be considered for the classes. Only 28 students will fill the classes this summer.
"This is the first year we are bringing the company's work to Long Beach," Joshua Nathan, handler of the audition information, said.
Katie McCoy, CSULB junior, said that she believes the courses are beneficial but suggests that scholarship opportunities should be provided to students who wish to sign up for the courses.
More information about the courses and contact information for auditioning is found at Step at the Beach.
