January, 2026: New York City - This January, join us again in NYC for a week seeing the sights, the shows and the sounds of the City that never sleeps. This trip includes all things midtown like Hudson Yards, Broadway, The Garment District, Rockefeller Center, the Met, Lincoln Center and more.

May, 2027: The Origins of Theatre - England & Greece - Tour the theatres of Euripides & Shakespeare and see how theatre has connected societies for over 2000 years. In addition to guided tours, this trip will include time for your individual exploring in Athens & London.
