The University of Tennessee’s English 492 class sponsored a class trip for students to go to New York City Theater to see a variety of plays in December 2006.
Phil Garland, a student in English 492 took a trip to New York City Dec. 14 to see plays at the theater. The class trip consisted of 20 people from Mrs. Lisischoenbach’s class.
Garland had a new outlook on life after the trip.
“This trip made me find my way through a big place without being lost, and using public transportation also made me more interested in drama,” Garland said.
Garland said he would like one day to work in theater writing plays. He said the trip and authors like Arthor Miller inspired him.
The plays the class saw included “Shipwreck,” “Company,” “Two Trains Running” and many others. Garland said he liked all the plays, but "Company" the most.
“'Company' was the best play I saw because it was a musical and all the actors played their own instruments,” he said.
Garland said the cost of the trip was about $900 and included a place to stay and the cost of the plays.
After the plays were over in the evening, enjoyed New York's nightlife.
“The night life in New York was a lot of fun, it had nice people and everyone wanted to cut lose after the semester,” Garland said.
Although no one knew each other at the beginning of the trip, the students became friends and still keep in touch, Garland said.

Do not use fillers
Need comma after but in (Phil liked all the plays that he saw but company stood out to him the most.) Should company be capitalized or put in paranthesis?
Eliminate the use of "that"
Should a ; be used instead of a comma? “The night life was a lot of fun, it had nice people and everyone wanted to cut lose after the semester,” Phil Said.
Interesting story. Great quote in fourth paragraph.
Watch AP style and grammar errors. Also work on making your writing more efficient - avoid extra words that don't contribute to the writing.
Keep up the good writing.
