Madelaine Foster, Spain

“I loved the time I spent in Spain through Performing Arts Abroad. I lived and worked with fantastic people, and I learned a lot about the administrative and educational side of the theatre world. My placement at a small, recently opened theatre school gave me a bunch of really unique opportunities–my favorite (although also the most high pressure!) was getting to design and operate the lights for the school dance show and the musical theatre revue. They were incredibly willing to give me big responsibilities, and gave me room to do things that I was interested in.”
