"The center of the stage is where I am"

As expected, I seem to have neglected my blogging endeavor for a while. However, worry not, I am back on track. I don't have much to report. A lot of my past two weeks have been spent in class, in museums, watching plays, and walking...everywhere.

  A day spent wandering around Tower Hill/Tower of London

 

 I spent a particularly rainy day in Kensington exploring the Natural History Museum

One truly remarkable part of studying theatre in London - a mecca for theatre - is the amount of shows I get to see! So far I have been lucky enough to see Matilda, Richard III, Last of the Hausmans, Timon of Athens, Taming of the Shrew, Choir Boy, Blood Brothers, One Man Two Guvnors, and tonight I will be seeing Rock of Ages. Amazing. Also, the random connections I have been making - from DJ's at nightclubs that want singers to record club music to by total coincidence, sitting next to one of Broadway's top producers at Choir Boy. She was there casting the West End version of Scotsboro Boys and told me to email her my information...I clearly got her business card. 

“I believe that in a great city, or even in a small city or a village, a great theater is the outward and visible sign of an inward and probable culture.” Sir Laurence Olivier

 This week has been particularly busy as I prepare for my 10 day break from classes. I will be leaving Friday for Paris, Barcelona, Rome, and Venice. I am BEYOND excited - counting down the days!!!
