Richards Explores the Theatrical History of the Czech Republic

2015 Jun 5

Marquise Richards, of Reading, Pa., was one of 22 students from Susquehanna University who recently spent time in the Czech Republic as part of the university's Global Opportunities (GO) program.

The program, titled Theatre and History of the Czech Republic, contrasts the art and culture of the medieval history of Cesky Krumlov with the modern dynamic of the European Union nation. From the Holy Roman Empire to the Holocaust and the Velvet Revolution, students were able to get an in-depth look at the history of an unfamiliar culture. By examining the architecture and design that stimulate post-Communist life, students were able to experience the collision of art and life in Eastern Europe.
