LONDON AND PARIS
 

How can these two old favorites make your heart beat faster? Maybe it was the glorious springtime weather but we think it’s because of a new appreciation for London theatre, so innovative and varied with its accomplished actors, daring directors producing both traditional and cutting edge plays. And then, there’s PARIS…and the dream it holds for so many a bohemian, gay life. We can’t deliver that dream but we can share our Paris gleaned from dozens of trips. Join us! Learn More!
