Theatre students and students who excel in English Literature in 5th grade and up have traveled to 加州帕萨迪纳市 to study theatre at 内部噪音（ANW）, a classical theatre repertory company founded in 1992 by CEA graduate, Julia Rodriguez-Elliott (c/o 1974) and her husband, Geoff Elliott. Since its inauguration, 内心的噪音 has evolved from being a small neighborhood theatre company to becoming one of the most distinguished theatre companies in the Southern California area– consistently raising the bar on how great classical theatre can be.
在“内心的噪音”项目中，戏剧专业的学生将与ANW的教育部门、专业演员和ANW导演Julia Rodriguez-Elliott一起参加为期三天的密集研讨会。 The workshops have traditionally centered around a Shakespeare play, during which students dive into text, work on understanding and translating Shakespearean language, act various scenes, have improvisation classes, and even stage combat and sword-fighting workshops with the professional sword-fighting expert who choreographed the scene in ANW´s rendition of 罗密欧与朱丽叶. 他们有机会探索专业剧院幕后发生的事情，学习灯光、服装设计、导演、布景准备以及创作专业作品的许多其他方面。 Since they were there on a three-show weekend, students had the opportunity to watch two professional performances, Shakespeare´s 罗密欧与朱丽叶 and George Bernard Shaw´s 你永远无法预知, as well as a final rehearsal for Pirandello´s 六个寻找作者的人物. 每一场演出结束后，学生们都能参加与演员的会后对话，以进一步提升他们的经验。
除了在ANW的时间，学生们还参观了洛杉矶，参观了著名的杜比剧院、华纳兄弟工作室，并花了一个下午参观了圣莫尼卡码头。
