 By popular demand, Broadway.com / Theatre Direct's successful Broadway Classroom program has been expanded to reach out to London 's vibrant theatre scene. Like its sister in New York , West End Classroom is an interactive enrichment program for student and adult groups who want to get "behind the scenes." In conjunction with taking in a show on the legendary stages of the West End, groups will get to meet working London theatre professionals and develop their own creativity, right in the heart of one of Europe 's most exciting cities.
 The program offers three unique workshops, each based on the American National Standards for Arts Education, so students traveling from the U.S. can bring their international experiences back home with them and into the classroom. Each workshop runs for 90 minutes, is taught by a qualified teaching artist and is customized according to the group's experience and goals.
