$269

With a book by Julian Fellowes (creator of Downton Abbey), 14 new songs by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber (The Phantom of the Opera), School of Rock opened in December to rave reviews from critics! This adaptation of the 2003 movie stars Alex Brightman (Wicked, Matilda) as Dewey Finn, a wannabe rocker who takes a job as a substitute teacher at a prep school to earn a few bucks. Completely disinterested in academic work, Dewey decides to create his own curriculum, turning his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mindblowing rock band. Sierra Boggess takes on the role of Rosalie Mullins, the school principal. She’s no stranger to Lloyd Webber productions, having played Christine in The Phantom of the Opera in both New York and London. But, it is the kids, with their incredible voices and musical skills, who will have you on your feet and shouting Encore! It’s no wonder they are breaking box office records with 101% capacity at the Winter Garden Theater. This is one class you don’t want miss!

At the age of 33, Misty Copeland has emerged as one of the most influential and groundbreaking dancers of her generation. In June 2015, she was promoted to principal dancer, making her the first African American woman to hold this position in the American Ballet Theater’s 75-year history. We will see her perform the lead role in Kenneth MacMillan’s masterful interpretation of Shakespeare’s enduring romantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. Against a sumptuous setting in Renaissance Italy, MacMillan weaves a dance tapestry rich in character nuance and sensuality, and Sergei Prokofiev’s stirring music underscores the lyric beauty and passion of this beloved ballet’s star-crossed lovers. MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet is an actress’s ballet; its weight falls on Juliet’s shoulders. It is in many ways her story and with Misty dancing the lead, we know we are in for a memorable show. What a perfect way to spend a summer evening!

NOTE: Full Diversions breakfast provided en route. On return, full dinner and open bar.

NOTE: Wine, gourmet dinner and a 25-minute film on Copeland’s life provided en route. Snacks and cold drinks on the return.

Enjoy a glamorous weeklong stay at the Marisol Coronado Hotel, a beautiful boutique in the heart of Coronado, CA. When you’re not sampling the outstanding cuisine and sites of southern California, you’ll have time to stroll along the powder-soft white-sand beach (voted one of America’s most beautiful!), cycle the strand that runs between the bay and the ocean, browse the many stops and specialty stores, and walk the gorgeous, wide boulevards of Coronado, one of the most beautiful communities in the United States. Coronado is also home to a Naval Air Base so you can see fighter jets, F14s, Tomahawks and other naval planes coming in over the sea to land at the base on the north part of the island.

Roland Park Country School An Education Above at Roland Park Country School sets us apart. While most schools seek to prepare their students for the next academic step we strive to prepare our students for life — a life full of wonder, joy and complexity. We empower our students with the integrity, will and character they need to live a purposeful life. To achieve this, we build a foundation of strong academics. Then we add layers of experiences and opportunities carefully designed to nurture our students’ curiosity, creativity, confidence, compassion and leadership delivered by an award-winning, experienced and much loved faculty. This occurs within the context of a genuinely supportive community where every student has multiple friends, mentors and others looking out for her. We are proud of our strength as an academic institution to stand at the forefront of all girls’ education as we create tomorrow’s world leaders. Roland Park Country School is a college preparatory school for girls in Kindergarten through Grade 12 with a Preschool for girls and boys located in northern Baltimore City.
