Romeo and Juliet [Profs on the Town]

This post is written by UHPer Alex Jeffery about a recent Professors on the Town trip, where Honors students experience classroom topics come to life at events and locations all throughout DC.

For our Professor on the Town event, our Origins class decided to go to a performance of Romeo and Juliet at the Folger Theater. We embarked on our journey from the Foggy Bottom metro stop, and then walked to the theater and watched the performance.
It was a wonderful interpretation of the play, as the lines stayed the same but the costumes were updated and more modern. The set was great, and the acting was truly unbelievable. However, the best part of the evening was the bonding that occurred between our class and the professors. We were all laughing and talking the whole way to and from the event. Everyone is getting so comfortable with each other, and we all truly value the friendship of everyone else. Professor Christov is a wonderful man who is constantly extending himself, and who was great fun to be around during the entire trip.  All in all it was an awesome trip, and our class truly appreciated being able to do something like that outside of class!
