The Theatre Scene in London



I have never lived in or experienced a community that supports the arts at the magnitude of people in London.  With countless theatre companies, the British Film Institute, the Royal Opera House, hundreds of art galleries as well as an unsatisfied appetite for music and dance, this place stands alone in it's love for art.  I've been finding it difficult to get tickets for theatre because it's always sold out, (that's everywhere where you go).  Fortunately, there are always tickets reserved for students and standing room, so I'm still able to see virtually anything I want.  Unlike our country, there are student discounts for just about everything, not just for the arts, but for the entire city.  The city makes it easy for students to live without spending an arm and a leg each time they want to experience the city.  I'm quickly falling in love with this place for support in everything that is new and fresh, especially in the theatre.  I simply couldn't be happier right now, or wish for anything greater than what I'm experiencing.  Thank you for this.
