Los Angeles Times Daily Travel & Deal blogger

Where do theater and sports collide? Ron Scarlata, theater professor at El Camino College in Torrance, will lead an eight-day cultural tour of London during the winter holiday that accents live performances and back-stage tours as well as some of the city’s hot venues for the 2012 Olympics.

Scarlata, who has been organizing itineraries for theater lovers for four decades, designed a trip that includes orchestra tickets for three top shows – including one musical and one drama -- as well as tours of the Royal National Theatre and the city’s Theatre Royal.

Other highlights include walking tours of London, the city’s Olympic sites and a daylong excursion to Shakespeare’s hometown Stratford-on-Avon.
