Hi Cathy,
I studied theatre in London for five months during college, and was overwhelmed by the academic resources available! Many renowned theatre organizations provide educational experiences and resources that you may find valuable. Here's a short list:
National Theatre - publicly funded and probably the best resource for programs and justification
Royal Shakespeare Company - speaks for itself!
Donmar Warehouse - a campus of publicly- and privately-funded theatre and visual art
There is also tons of academic research and literature detailing the academic and developmental benefits of studying abroad that may also be helpful.
I hope this helps! Studying abroad is one of the best experiences a person can have - good luck!

Have you taken a trip to London or any other homes of great theatre and, if so, what educational justifications did you provide to your administrators?
