Credit Hours: 4
Frequency of Offering: Offered annually in the spring semester

An on-site study tour in London and Stratford-upon-Avon of contemporary British theater, including tours of museums, theaters, and historical sites whose relevance to British culture and arts will help broaden students’ understanding and appreciation of theater practice. Coursework includes four pre-departure seminars, attendance while in London of five theater performances, and completion of a journal. Additionally, students enrolled in the course will be required to submit one pre-departure essay as well as their choice from the following while abroad: 1) response papers on four of the five theater productions in London; or, 2) response papers on three of the London productions plus one independently viewed theater piece, one historic site, or one museum attended. One of the response papers will consist of a mini-research project.
