We trod the boards looking for the best in British culture and art
Welcome to the final show! I hope you’re wearing your best clothes! I can’t believe that I am writing my final blog post. Before I went on this trip, in fact before the application was even posted, I poured through the blog posts of those who had gone last year. Naturally, I came upon the …

Our last show of the trip has come and gone! I am so happy and honored that it is Hamlet. It is my favorite Shakespeare and has a lot of personal significance to me, so getting to see it performed live for the first time was everything I could’ve asked for. This was different from …
Since being little, my trips have of course always been about the experiences, but it has also been centered around food. My family is a massive foodie family, and the food we consume while in a new place, or a place away from home, is a focal point. Even at home, food is always a …

Bath! Bath! Bath! What a wonderful place is Bath! Our first day trip has come and gone and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We were hit with the overwhelming history of this place the moment we arrived, as we walked straight out of the train station to the Roman baths. We each were given little …
On Wednesday, our class had the chance to see My Master Builder at the Wyndham Theater. I have quite a few critics of the show, so I think I’ll start with what I loved the most, which was the costume design. Obviously, when we see theater at this level, every choice is going to be …
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the V&A yesterday. I spent about an hour in the theater exhibit looking at every piece, reading the cards, and watching all the videos. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to do that with the rest of the museum, so I tried to take in each piece of art …
