I had the pleasure of visiting the Victoria and Albert Museum today, and there were far too many floors in that building. There were so many pieces of history inside the building including things like: sculptures, costumes, jewelry, architecture, weaponry, and more from all over the world. But the thing that stood out the most …

Fringe Theatre – How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
On Monday we saw the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying at Southwark Playhouse! Before coming on this trip to London I didn’t really know what fringe theatre was, but throughout the last few weeks I have learned that fringe theatre is just a smaller space like a blackbox theatre or a …

Hirschy Highlight: I love me some Fringe… in every form of the word.

Glory Ride was a delightful fringe show Alex, Madison and I saw on a free night last week. We went in with no expectations and left pleasantly surprised. Glory Ride was set in the early 1940s, and is a musical that depicts the true story of famous, Tour de France-winning cyclist Gino Bartali, who helped …
Fringe Theatre – Jules and Jim
Jules and Jim was not only one of my favorite Fringe shows that we have seen but I think it also captured the ideals of Fringe theatre very well. The production itself only had three actors, the set was very minimal with sliding panels of glass, a widow with shutters, a doorway, and a table.This …
Westminster Abbey
Today, our group had the opportunity to visit Westminster Abbey. I have been so looking forward to this day because ever since I was a little girl, I have been intrigued by the royal family. One of my core memories from my childhood actually revolves around a major royal event that took place at Westminster …
