Over the past couple of days, I have sat in a classroom with new peers as we prepare to embark on a journey to London to study the magic and education of theatre. It is quite difficult to conceptualize the idea that soon we will be in the places our professor shows images of to …

#6 Cake Was Enjoyed. I Didn’t Die. Win, Win.
Burough Market has an entirely different vibe than Spitalfields. The pace at which crowds wander through is a bit more frenzied, a bit more rushed, and in general, more goal oriented: the goal being lunch. Everyone is hangry, and there is no time to doddle. My first stop took me to a fruit stand selling …

Strapped-Upon-A Plane
For the final days of my short time in London, the group went to Stratford-upon-Avon. The birthplace of Shakespeare. A quaint little town, and a wonderfully calm note to end the trip on. After the nearly month-long time I spent in the vibrant city of London, this quiet town was the breath of fresh air …
June 17th-19th: The Journey Comes To a Close in Stratford-upon-Avon
We made landfall in Stratford-upon-Avon (SuA for short) following our abridged day trip around Oxford, and several of us were understandably bushed after the long coach rides and walking around in the heat and direct sunlight.

Camden, Sweet Camden
I fully admit to this being the nontheatrical highlight of my trip, as well as being the place where I wasted the most cash. I had my full week’s worth of money when I went myself (on a Tuesday), and by the end of that day was left with 1/4 of that money remaining in …

Stratford-upon-Avon: A Dream
Stratford-upon-Avon has to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. This quaint town is full of so many friendly people and so many wonderful things to do! This is also the home of THE William Shakespeare! Exploring the places where one of the greatest writers in the history of literature was …
The Victoria and Albert Museum: My Fair Princess
The Victoria and Albert museum is one of the best museums I have ever been to. I know, I have said that about every museum we have gone to, but they just keep getting better! Our assignment for this post was to find an object in the museum and relate it to a play we …

Tomato on my pancake?!
As far as food goes, London has so many options it will make your head spin. Out of all of my food adventures in London, the weirdest and most interesting would have to be a savory pancake from My Old Dutch. When my friend Ben told me we had to go eat there, I was …
