HISTORY OF KALEIDOSCOPE AT ROLAND PARK COUNTRY SCHOOL
Some of the best minds in Baltimore are teaching at Roland Park Country School. ~ Advertisement in the window of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in the mid-1970s
M
ore than forty years ago, Alumnae Secretary Peggy Webb Patterson, 1947, was charged by Headmistress Anne Healy to create outreach programs for alumnae, their friends and the Baltimore community. The RPCS Evening School was established during the 1972 – 1973 academic year and with Peggy’s guidance, RPCS began to develop and offer courses. One of the goals was to support the School’s mission to foster a lifelong love of learning in alumnae and sustain their connection to RPCS. A few classes per year were offered originally and Kay Cavanaugh’s popular course in modern art paved the way for success. Today, Kaleidoscope at RPCS has grown considerably. Courses, book talks, trips, and summer camps are offered in the fall, spring and summer semesters. Over 100 Kaleidoscope educational programs and entertainment options with 1000 participants are hosted each semester. Topics include Cultural Arts, Book Talks, Creative Pursuits, Film, Personal Development, Culinary Arts, Body, Mind and Soul, Children/Family Programs and Travel. A partnership with Diversions affords Kaleidoscope patrons outstanding seating at major Broadway theater events. Judy Pittenger’s Great Books courses are now offered in the afternoon and the evening. Kaleidoscope’s reach has expanded exponentially throughout the greater Baltimore community. Catalogs are mailed to a database of 13,000, many of whom do not have any other relationship to RPCS. Kaleidoscope is led by the External Programs Advisory Board who serve as ambassadors to develop and support Kaleidoscope programs and promote the School’s mission of lifelong learning. RPCS is deeply grateful to these dedicated volunteers who help identify opportunities, design programs, provide contacts, host trips and distribute catalogs wherever they can!
Welcome to Kaleidoscope Summer 2015!
Kaleidoscope Lifelong Learning at Roland Park Country School is dedicated to providing opportunities to learn, discover and explore. This summer, Kaleidoscope is excited to offer a wide variety of both traditional and specialty summer camps for children of all ages, as well as day trips and international travel opportunities for adults. I hope you enjoy our summer catalog and plan to make this season a memorable one with Kaleidoscope! Roland Park Country School’s commitment to An Education Above through lifelong learning is reflected in Kaleidoscope. Imagine, explore and experience everything Kaleidoscope has to offer—everyone is welcome!

For 60 years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly private meeting — The Audience — at Buckingham Palace. Both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said, not even to their spouses. From Churchill to Cameron, each prime minister uses these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional, sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive. In turn, the Queen can’t help but reveal her own self as she advises, consoles and, on occasion, teases. Enter her royal highness, Dame Helen Mirren, who received the Olivier Award in London for her luminous performance in The Audience and now reprises that role on Broadway. Although no minutes were taken, no officials were present and nothing can be verified, this ingenious play written by Peter Morgan dares to imagine the most private conversations between Britain’s most public figures. This monarchical tourde-force is nothing less than her loyal subjects expect of her. God save the Queen! NOTE: Full Diversions breakfast provided en route. On return, full dinner and open bar.

It is no longer a rumor. Five-time Tony nominee Kelli O’Hara will star in Lincoln Center Theater’s upcoming Broadway revival of the beloved The King and I, playing opposite Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai, Inception) in his American stage debut. Tony winner Bartlett Sher, who directed O’Hara in The Bridges of Madison County, The Light in the Piazza and in Lincoln Center Theater’s hugely successful South Pacific revival, will stage the production as only he can. Set in 1860s Bangkok, the musical tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and Anna Leonowens, a British school teacher, whom the imperious King brings to Siam to tutor his many wives and children. Featuring a cast of more than 50, a score of treasured songs including Getting to Know You, I Whistle a Happy Tune, Hello Young Lovers, Something Wonderful and Shall We Dance? in their glorious, original orchestrations, the new staging of The King and I invites a whole new generation to get to know this inspiring and enchanting musical classic.

Following in the footsteps of Les Miserables comes the epic, extravagant Dr. Zhivago, based on the most adored book of all time. Set amidst the chaos and upheaval of World War I and the ensuing Russian Revolution, this sweeping romantic new musical arrives on Broadway after a sold out, critically acclaimed Australian premiere. Renowned director Des McAnuff is once again at the helm and Lucy Simon (Secret Garden) has written a masterpiece of a score that has powerful ballads rubbing shoulders with jaunty chorus numbers. Michael-Scott-Mitchell’s clever, complex and ever changing set magically transforms from mansions to hovels to the eastern front. The entire production is nothing short of magical! Tam Mutu is magnificent as Yurii Zhivago, a dedicated husband, doctor and poet whose life is tossed by the tides of history as he is torn between a life with his devoted wife and the passionate, feisty and mysterious Lara Guishar. So begins a complex series of overlapping love triangles. With its polished performances, gritty plot, melodic score and fighting spirit, it’s no wonder this production received seven Helpman nominations. Truly a powerful stage adaptation of Pasternak’s great novel, Dr. Zhivago celebrates the strength of love and art in the face of political oppression, war and revolution.

Our June offering for this popular trip sold out so quickly, we are delighted to offer an additional trip with Diversions to the fantastic Frida Kahlo exhibit in New York on September 10. The New York Botanical Gardens will come alive with its major 2015 exhibition dedicated to Frida Kahlo. This is the first solo presentation of the famed artist’s work in more than 25 years, and it is the first exhibition to focus exclusively on her intense interest in nature and its influence on her painting. We will begin in the landmark Conservatory to marvel at the re-imagined version of Kahlo’s studio and garden at Casa Azul, the artist’s childhood home outside of Mexico City where she resided in her later years. Passing through the blue courtyard walls, we’ll stroll along lava rock paths lined with flowers, Mexican folk-art objects, terra-cotta pots filled with plants found in her garden and a scale version of the pyramid originally created to display pre-Columbian art collected by Kahlo’s husband, renowned muralist Diego Rivero. This one-of-a-kind exhibition is truly a work of art unto itself. Climb aboard our private tram for a narrated riding tour of the hundreds of acres of exquisite gardens beyond the Conservatory. It is here you will find some of the most beautiful natural terrain of any botanical garden in the world. A delicious private buffet lunch awaits us at Stone Mill, a Natural Historic Landmark dating back to 1840. Following lunch, we’ve arranged to be divided into small groups for a docent tour of a rare display of original Kahlo paintings and drawings. We cap off this extraordinary day with a visit to the Shop in the Garden filled with oneof-a-kind gifts, apparel, jewelry, home accessories, garden tools and of course, plants.

Enjoy the authentic cuisine at local restaurants including Ten Ten Pie, Nirvana, Bugambilia, and a final farewell dinner at The Restaurant, the most elegant restaurant in town. You will also have the opportunity to spend time with fellow travelers during two cocktail receptions, including one at the brand new home of Ann Hillers.
Optional Extension November 1 and 2 are two of the most important days on the Mexican calendar: Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos in Spanish) is a Mexican celebration of dead ancestors, coinciding with the similar Roman Catholic celebrations of All Saints Day and All Souls Day. In San Miguel the town is alive with processions to the local panteón (cemetery) where families gather all day to sing, drink and converse with their ancestors. Their rituals are open to the public and show the visitor an unbelievably unique and loving way Mexicans honor their dead. The local bilingual newspaper, The Atencion, has a full schedule of events occurring between October 31 and November 2. Our regular tour program will conclude on Saturday, October 31 with your transfers back to the airport for the return flight home. However, if you wish to extend your stay, your room will be reserved at the inn, allowing you to witness one of the most special times of the year in San Miguel. There is no organized program over these days—your stay will be independent— but daily breakfast and airport transfers will be provided back to the airport. Because we have arranged the week’s visit in advance, the hotel will extend a special rate to your for the additional three days. Standard room with breakfast, taxes & airport transfer: $100 per night, single or double Suite with breakfast, taxes & airport transfer: $130 per night, single or double

RPCS Welcomes
Young Victorian Theatre Company back to the Sinex Theater Stage to present
The Pirates of Penzance Young Vic is Baltimore’s summer repertory theatre dedicated to the works of Gilbert & Sullivan. Featuring professional musicians, performers and artists, Young Vic returns to the Sinex Theater at RPCS this summer for five performances of Gilbert & Sullivan’s smash hit, The Pirates of Penzance. Young Frederic has just turned 21 and is ready to leave his apprenticeship to a band of softhearted pirates. But with his strong sense of duty, he painfully declares that once free, he is obligated to wipe out their gang. That is, until a ridiculous leap year snag threatens to keep him apprenticed to the pirates for life! Featuring beautiful music, a bevy of gorgeous girls, a stuffy Major-General and a zany police force, The Pirates of Penzance is a charming and hilarious show that everyone will enjoy!
