Cultural Treasure Hunt
for the London Theatre Program!

London Theatre Program 2001 - Cultural Treasure Hunt

Choose 10 of the items on this list. Go and experience each of these and make sure to remember what you thought and/or found particularly interesting. Write a short response to each of the experiences in your journal (100 word minimum for each experience) and mark those entries accordingly. You must have completed 5 by the time we return from Stratford (which is when your journals will be due). The rest are due by the final week of the program. You will note that we ask you to find specific things in particular galleries but you do not have to limit your response to those particular pieces or exhibits.
