Description
The goal of the program is to help students become more informed, active, confident, and critical participants in theatre productions. We will read five plays and discuss possibilities for dramatic representation before seeing them on stage; we will write about our experiences in a Theatre notebook/scrapbook; and we will tour theatre districts in London, the Shakespeare properties in Stratford, and take backstage tours at the National Theatre and the Globe.
Housing and board for students will be arranged with families in London.
