London, England

About the London Theatre Tour

In this unique week long class we will explore theatre as it developed and as it exists now in the exciting city of London, England.

The program will be headquartered in London at Millersville's official partner, the London Metropolitan University , and requires daily field trips to nearby locations in the city. There will be a few meetings in a classroom environment, at London Met, but most class gatherings will be on-site, focusing on first-hand experience (as opposed to lecture) and leaving ample time for students to explore London on their own. The course includes attendance at four professional theatre performances in London , as well as backstage tours at the Globe Theatre, the National Theatre and the Royal Theatre Drury Lane .
