Performing Arts, Drama & Theatre Studies trips to Los Angeles
Performing Arts, Drama & Theatre Studies trips to Los Angeles
Shine in the ‘City of Stars’
LA is home to world-famous theatres, legendary studios, and a creative energy that’s impossible to ignore. For students who love acting, musical theatre, dance or technical production, this larger-than-life city offers a front-row seat to the arts in action.
Then there’s the sightseeing. From the Dolby Theatre (home of the Oscars) to the Walk of Fame and Hollywood sign, LA is full of iconic sights. Add in a studio tour, a trip to Universal, and maybe even a beach day in Santa Monica, and you’ve got a trip that’s as entertaining as it is educational.
