Trip Review-Day 6 Globe theater tour























We started out the morning of Day 6 with a short bus trip to the reconstructed Globe Theater.  An American film director, Sam Wanamaker started a foundation to recreate the Globe in 1970 and finally in 1997, the Globe was brought back to life.
We had an outstanding tour with views of the theater and exhibits inside that showed Shakespeare's time in London and costumes and props and how hard they work to keep everything authentic.
It functions now like a summer stock theater and has open auditions in the off season.  There is a comprehensive website at: www.shakespeares-globe.org.  Our students went to a production of "Much Ado About Nothing".
