Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Lawrenceville students will travel to the United Kingdom, both England and Scotland, as a participating theatre ensemble in the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival held in August, exploring and performing in beautiful, historic Edinburgh, Scotland. We will be producing our own play, taking on all theatrical elements, including acting, directing, and technical components, as part of the American High School Theatre Festival (AHSTF).

A list of required vaccinations for this trip will be sent home to all families. All travelers must be up-to-date on routine vaccines; if routine vaccines are administered on campus families will be charged. If students do not provide records of having these vaccinations by their return to campus after spring break, arrangements will be made for the vaccinations to be administered on campus.

Target Student Population
This trip is open to the school community, though is capped at fifteen students. However, maturity, fitness, and commitment to the performing arts and travel will be used in the selection process to create the best possible artistic team, filling both performing and technical roles.
Students must be able to undertake considerable walking up the cobble-stoned and hilly streets of Edinburgh, work as a team to execute a full production, which entails commitment to line memorization, hauling, setting up and striking scenery / props / costumes, and be a functional and collaborative member of the team. All participants will attend regular spring term preparation meetings, including mandatory spring term rehearsals and the pre-trip brushup week.
