EXPLORING THE WORLD OF THEATRE

THE RECENT PERFORMING ARTS TOUR TO ENGLAND AND FRANCE PROVIDED STUDENTS WITH AN ENRICHING TWOWEEK PROGRAM OF STAGE SHOWS AND WORKSHOPS WITH INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS.

On the West End, the boys were lucky enough to see the new musical Back to the Future: The Musical as well as the outrageous, The Book of Mormon. They also saw Henry V at the Globe Theatre and a show at The Moulin Rouge in Paris. Seeing shows in London and Paris, from differing time periods and styles of performances, gave students insight into the diversity that exists in the world of theatre. To further support this learning, the boys participated in a range of workshops focusing on playbuilding, improvisation, musical theatre and even stage combat.

This second international tour was a highly enriching experience and a great way for the boys to bond over their love of the performing arts.
