The USC Department of Theatre and Dance has established a working and teaching relationship with the National Theatre of Romania, thanks in large part to theatre faculty member Nic Ularu.
Beatrice Rancea is guest director of USC's upcoming production of The Good Person of Setzhuan. A former ballet soloist, Rancea now is artistic director of the National Theatre of Constantia, Romania, and also directs for television and film.

This past summer, MFA directing and design candidate Vincent A. Masterpaul directed a production of an American play in Romania; other interns will work there in the future.
"This is an incredible opportunity for us and our students," said Department Chair Jim Hunter. "Europe, especially the former-Eastern bloc countries, takes drama very seriously. Theatre holds a more central place in their cultures than it does in the United States. It's great for our students to experience the Romanian fervor for theatre and their high artistic standards."
