London Theatre Odyssey
January 6 - 17, 2009

The Program

In its 36 years, the annual London Theatre Odyssey has become the oldest and most popular cultural offering of its kind. Regretfully, in March we lost our beloved Director, Dr. Phillip Walker. It was his express wish that we continue this program he was so passionate about. Rubina and Dennis Badvaganian will continue to serve as Associate Directors of the program.

The 2009 program will be led by Guest Co-directors, Dr. Dave Natharius and Dr. Mary-Lou Galician (Natharius). Dr. Natharius is Professor Emeritus of Communication and Humanities, CSU Fresno, and currently adjunct professor in Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication, where Dr. Galician ("Dr. FUN") is Head of Media Analysis and Criticism. They also co-directed CSU's London-Paris Cultural & Performing Arts travel study program. Dr. Dave has assisted Dr. Phil with the London Theater Odyssey.

As in the past, this program will provide unequaled values in theatrical events, accommodations, guest speakers, guided tours and cultural enrichment.
