Today we took a tour of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the oldest theatre in London. We had two fantastic tour guides who portrayed different characters from different time periods. These were two of the best tour guides were have had at the Drury Lane. Lots of fun! Enjoy the photos.

We are seeing French and Saunders on Thursday night. Dawn French is on T.V. in The Vicar of Dibley and Jennifer Saunders was on Ab Fab!!! This is their Farewell tour. Tim and I went to see A Disappearing Number at the Barbican Theatre which was incredible and other students went to see We Will Rock You. I am not sure what they thought of it. Tomorrow we are going to see Avenue Q.

We had many visitors from the United States come to London to see Radium Girls. Dean of the School of the Arts, Michael Charron and his daughter Kelsey came to the show Friday night as did Peter Snell's mother and grandmother and Bill Ronchak's parents, sister and her friend Sarah. On closing night Brother William Mann, President of Saint Mary's University attended the play along with Ali Fisch's parents and many of my students from Rose Bruford. Saturday was a great show. The bar below us cooperated and didn't play their disco music! Strike went very well even though we got some strange looks carrying tables and chairs back to the flasts on the Underground tube! At least we will have somewhere to sit and eat on Thanksgiving. Brother William took us all out to a wonderful dinner at Azzurro. Thank you Brother William!!!! We loved it and appreciated your generosity. Here are some photos from the dinner and from closing night.
