Agenda

On this trip, we will travel to the mecca of culture and arts in the United States! We will explore museums, historical theatres, and participate in workshops with Broadway actors and educators. During our time in New York, we will also get the real New York experience by visiting well-known sites and lesser-known hidden gems. Our educational focus will be on the performing and visual arts and an exploration of the diversity of the city as reflected in the arts.

Special Considerations

• Departure: Departure as a group from NYC on Saturday, March 29 is non-negotiable. We are unable to make adjustments to our group travel itinerary.
• Physical Activity: This trip involves lots of walking, so good shoes and a positive attitude are crucial to the activities each day.
• Participation: Students should be willing to participate fully, possibly stepping out of their comfort zones, in workshops and activities each day.
