Theatre

Since I’m going to be updating this page from across the pond, I figure I should spell like I’m studying there. Hence the “re.”

This will be the page where I keep track of the shows I’m seeing, plays I’m reading, and other events that I attend while in London. I must admit that I took this idea from Sam, a friend from Tufts, who kept a blog of her experience at BADA Shakespeare last year with a similar page. Thanks, Sam!
