We stayed in Times Square and enjoyed four days of drama and sight-seeing. We received an acting workshop on physical characterisation from a working professional Broadway actor and met a real Rockette during our backstage tour of the Radio City Music Hall. We greeted Lady Liberty, visited the highline, saw the heights of New York from the One World Observatory, walked through Grand Central Station, payed respects at the 9/11 memorial, took a stroll on the Brooklyn Bridge and waltzed through Central Park. We enjoyed food in American portions at various diners, the Hard Rock Cafe, Bubba Gump Shrimp and dinner with show at Ellen's Stardust Diner. By far the best part of our trip however has to be the phenomenal Broadway shows we got to see... Wicked and Hamilton! Great shopping occurred and ultimately bounds of fun was the lasting result of the entire trip! ***By Hannah Pilkington (Fifth Year GCSE Drama Pupil)*** To view a selection of photographs from the trip, please visit our KGS Flickr page at: **Tags:** [drama](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/drama) [Sixth Form](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/sixth-form) [2023-2024](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2023-2024) [Senior School](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/senior-school) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2024-01-23-j4-pupils-relish-magical-harry-potter-lunch-in-the-old-hall) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2024-02-01-sports-reports) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
