They experienced their first snow, their first roller skating trip and for most, their first visit to the United States. Six musical theater students from Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, South Africa, have been visiting Ball State University with professor Josef du Preez, head of the dance and theater department at Tshwane. The group has been visiting Muncie for six weeks after Harold Mortimer, associate professor of musical theater, began planning the trip with du Preez last year. This was the first time a group of students from Tshwane came to Ball State.
