Greetings!

I’d like to publicly thank the SCAdians who were so wonderful at the demo at the Lea School on Friday, 6/2, during the school’’s annual Shakespeare Festival. These individuals spent the entire schoolday giving classes and demonstrations to 500 West Philadelphia elementary school students to help make them realize that learning about Shakespeare and the Renaissance is fun!

I’d also like to thank the fair Shire of Hartshorn-dale for the loan of the games.
