This past week I attended a movie at the Prince Charles Theater in London and I also attended an immersive play of the Great Gatsby. I was super excited to explore more of the theater and film side of London.
On Monday I went to see Taylor Swift’s new documentary, “Miss Americana” at Prince Charles Theater. It is a small movie cinema and allows for an intimate movie experience. It was an awesome experience. I got to the theater and it had a big display for the “Miss Americana” documentary so I took a few photos. It was playing in their downstairs movie room and it had a very cozy feel which I liked. The documentary was great and I really enjoyed the experience. I also went to it alone, which was another cool experience. Doing things alone, especially in a new city can be scary but I think it is a good thing for me to do.
On Wednesday, I attended an immersive play of the Great Gatsby. By immersive, it means the characters come up and interact with you and you feel as if you are a part of the play. It felt almost as if I was attended one of the actual Gatsby parties like in the book or movie. It was a super cool experience and unlike anything I had done before.
Both of these experiences were amazing and I was so happy to explore the play and movie side of London.

The immersive experience sounds really interesting. Did you go dressed up? Also, you can get some day tickets to the big broadway shows in downtown London for very cheap. I have down this several times and seen Wicked, etc. The seats are good as well. You may want to check this out. There is a booth you go to. If you ask around I am sure someone will know where it is. I would highly recommend going to at least one of these.

Hi! Congrats on beginning to navigate the city and attending events alone. We all know how scary that can be! I am sure you felt empowered. How do you see that feeling of empowerment influencing the rest of your semester?

I see it influencing the rest of my semester in a very positive way. It will allow me to not feel held back and experience more things. It has allowed me to realize doing things alone is extremely beneficial for personal growth. And now I won’t be scared of doing things alone, I will be even more excited to experience stuff by myself.
