Cultural Affairs at Pennsic

Deputy Mayor of Cultural Affairs:

Mistress Chai’usun (Jana Russ); e-mail

Among the Cultural Activities at Pennsic you will find:

  • Classes covering SCA periods and cultures from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance
  • Dances and balls of both Europe and points farther East
  • Multiple venues showcasing talented entertainers from all the performance arts represented by the SCA; and
  • Fantastic displays of the Arts and Sciences by craftspeople of the SCA.
Please note that all classes, performances, dances, games, and activities offered by the staff and volunteers of Pennsic War and advertised in the Pennsic Book are free of charge and open to all Pennsic attendees.

Some events may not be suitable for minors; parents should always supervise what their minor children are attending.

Some classes may offer materials and handouts at cost, but these are optional and participants are not required to buy anything to attend classes or performances.

All of the teachers, performers, and exhibitors at Cultural Affairs events do so as volunteers and none of these people receive any compensation for their skills. Please take the time to thank them for their time, effort, knowledge, and skills whenever you can.

New Pennsic University Teen Minor Policy (12-17) (Established 7/12/2010)
See complete letter of explanation from the Mayor.

Minors are welcome to attend Pennsic University classes. Individual teachers and classes may have restrictions due to topic, materials, request of instructor and such. Unruly or disruptive youth will be asked to leave the class as per Society Seneschal Handbook Policy.

Classes specifically geared for minors are handled through Youth Point and will adhere to all relevant policies for youth activities. No classes through the University and Youth Point specifically for minors will be permitted in private camps or merchant booths. Further, any minor who wishes to attend regular University class in a private encampment or in a merchant booth must be escorted by a responsible adult appointed by their parent or legal guardian.

New Pennsic University Service

The Pennsic University Ambassadors are a group of volunteers organized through A&S Point to aid teachers and students. They will roam through the University areas prepared to help teachers if the "Two Deep Leadership Model" is necessary, aid with basic classroom discipline if required, and assist all members of the populace to find class times and locations as desired. Our Ambassadors are there to help with quick easy questions. For more in depth questions and normal University business, please visit A&S Point in the middle of the University.

If you would like to volunteer to help with the ambassadors, please sign up at A&S Point! We also need people who have gone through the SCA background checked process. Please come to A&S Point and speak to us.

Please note that the Pennsic Book went to press almost a month ago and the material dealing with this issue will be incorrect. We will make available at Troll an insert updating this policy, but please know that on this issue the original published text will be incorrect.
