"Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau should be a requirement in American classrooms, a prelude to a serious study of the Transcendentalist movement that we all could use a great good deal more immersion in. Kids badly need this element in their lives, and, to accommodate the exposure, the two-disc set also includes a great little lesson plan that strongly encourages analysis and critical thinking."

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. Easy and fun to produce, over 8,400 colleges, schools, community theaters and homeschools have registered performances of the Walden play in 42 countries. It's a perfect project for autumn or spring around Earth Day. The Walden play script is available in English, French and Spanish.

For those that can't produce a performance we offer the Walden DVD/CD Gift Set. The 60 minute theatre production was filmed and is easy to show in classrooms. A full-color educational lesson plan is included. See the links below.
