I have only heard great things about the program. My son knows an upper classman who was three years ahead of him in High School who went to study at Muhlenberg College, a great liberal arts school in Pennsylvania with a top BA drama department. They have a longstanding overseas program with Accademia dell’Arte in Italy for students to attend during their Junior year. This upper classman attended and thought the program in Italy was fantastic. The Director of the Muhlenberg drama department said that this boy was a good actor when he left but was so much better when he returned from Italy. Evidently, the focus on Commedia dell‘Arte and the advanced physicality training helped this actors development signficantly.

Sounds to me like great additional training not everyone gets.
