The Actors From The London Stage, the international touring troupe based in London and at the University of Notre Dame, shared their talents with Rice students and the Houston community at large during the group’s recent on-campus residency Jan. 31-Feb. 4.

In addition to performing Shakespeare’s famed “Romeo and Juliet” at Hamman Hall Feb. 2-4, the Actors From The London Stage actively participated in several Rice classes covering a wide range of subjects including drama, English, anthropology, writing and psychology, where they conversed with students, performed scenes relevant to the lessons of the day, and provided their expertise to dramatic arts students studying stage makeup as well as voice and speech for the stage.
