Love’s Labour’s Lost

Monday, April 30th, 2012

On Thursday, May 10th & Friday, May 11th @ 7.00 p.m.

You are invited to join The Waldorf School of Philadelphia’s Class of 2012 for

Shakespeare’s magniloquent and farcical display of pyrotechnic wordplay.

In the Kingdom of Navarre, the lord of the land, his two best friends, and all their male courtiers vow to forego female companionship, feasting, and sleep! So, naturally, three gorgeous and quick-witted French noblewomen arrive that same day. WHAT NOW?

Join us to find out, but in fairness to performers and audience and little ones alike, please leave children who aren’t in the grade school (ours and other grade schools) at home. Doors open at 6.30 p.m. The Cheltenham Arts Center is located at 439 Ashbourne Road in Cheltenham.

There is no charge for the show, but donations will be appreciated . Concessions will be on sale from the Class of 2013.

WSP Featured on Fox29

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

November 2011, following The New York Times feature on Waldorf Education, Karen Hepp from Fox 29 News visited The Waldorf School of Philadelphia.

Hepp interviewed teachers, parents, parents and students during her visit. She was particularly captivated by the beauty and quiet hum of the Early Childhood classrooms, and curious about the grade school curriculum that does not include the use of computers.
