CVKH Blog: The Prince and the Pauper, Feb. 18-20

Camphill Village Kimberton Hills presents The Prince and the Pauper, a musical comedy by Lewis Hardee, February 18-20, 2011.


Directed by Veronika Roemer, The Prince and the Pauper is based on the story by Mark Twain. Prince Edward, son of King Henry XIII, and a poor boy of the slums of London have a chance encounter. They discover that they look very much alike and decided to change clothes “for an hour or two.” The exchange lasts much longer and both boys, as well as everyone around them, discover many new things about life and each other.

The musical is freely based on Twain’s story, making even more fun of stiff royalty and showing the audience that poverty of goods does not mean poverty of heart. The music is a delightful mix of modern show tunes and Elizabethan era songs, with many catchy tunes.

This is the sixth show produced by Roemer, who lives and works in Camphill Kimberton, an intentional community that includes adults with developmental disabilities. Each production features residents of Camphill Kimberton and the wider community. Members of the Kimberton Hills orchestra will provide musical accompaniment of piano and various percussion instruments.

Show times are:
Friday, Feb. 18, 2011 – 3:30 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 19, 2011 – 2:30 and 7 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011 – 2:30 p.m.

All shows are in Rose Hall. Suggested donations are $12 for adults, $6 for children, and $35 for a family.

CVKH Blog: Service to Others

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'" -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

January 17, 2011 marks the 25th anniversary of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday. 


Dr. King believed in a nation of freedom and justice for all, and encouraged citizens to live up to their purpose and potential by applying the principles of nonviolence to make the United States a better place to live.
 
Today let us ask ourselves - how can we honor this man and his legacy?  How can we make a difference in the lives of others?  How can we live up to our purpose?

CVKH Blog: Third Annual Talkfest set for April 17

That’s right. We have set the date for the next spectacular Kimberton Hills Wine and Dine Talkfest at the renowned Birchrunville Store CafĂ©. More information will follow as it gets closer but you can put the date in your calendar right now. So before reading further, put it in every calendar you have from the one on the refrigerator to the one in your phone.


The last few times we did this I was harassed by people who were unfortunate enough to have already scheduled something else by the time they got our announcement. I heard from people who were stuck hiking in France, on safari in Africa, cruising the Mediterranean, drinking wine in California, walking on the Great Wall in China, and even getting married. Each and every one of them…you know who you are…asked why we had scheduled the Talkfest at this inopportune time…for them.

In spite of this…we sold out!

So, now that it’s in your calendar you won’t plan anything else for that day. If you already have something planned, you have plenty of time to re-schedule that other thing you thought you were going to do April 17. I suggest as soon as you finish reading this you call (610-935-8660) or email (bernadette@camphillkimberton.org) Bernadette and make your reservation.

For a minor fee to a great cause you will have:

  • Fantastic and neverending oardoors
  • A variety of magnificent wines
  • Scintillating conversation with exceptional people
  • No…I repeat, no program at all
The last few years people had so much fun we had to shove them out the door to end the Talkfest. It was so great that some people reserved their place for this Talkfest before they left the last one!

Don’t be left staring through the window wishing you were inside. Just for you, we are offering an incredible early registration discount of $164.99 per person. This discount is only available when you register.

See you there,

Steve Smolinsky
President, Board of Directors
