Their experience will come full circle when they attend two world class performances in London's famous West End........Billy Elliot and Legally Blonde, when once again, students will be invited to attend pre-show workshops with actors from the cast.

"As Northwest CT's premier resource for performing arts education, it is only fitting that we provide our students with the opportunity not only to study their craft within a classroom setting but also firsthand in the world's cultural hub of the arts,London. I am thrilled and honored to be leading our students on this exciting educational journey." Says Ms. Hinman.
