Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau
The two act, four character play is a conversation between Thoreau and Emerson set during the final two days Thoreau spent in his cabin before leaving Walden Pond. Over 7,100 colleges and schools have already performed the play. Now we want to send it nationwide on Public TV, Public Radio, Movie Theaters plus online with lesson plans into thousands of schools across North America.
“In an age of global warming, bio-fuels, hybrid cars and oil wars the Walden play can introduce audiences to Thoreau as well as environmental concerns in their own home towns.”
