Directed by Eva Kay Noone Written by David John Preece Families, alumni, neighbors and friends are invited to the Upper School play in the Kurtz Center for the Performing Arts! Beguiled in early childhood by his nursemaid's grim and ghoulish stories, Charles Dickens harbored throughout his life a fascination with ghosts, apparitions and chilling coincidence. This play is a collection of eerie tales, told in story-theater style, from one of the greatest storytellers of all. The stories are a lively mixture of comedy, pathos and the supernatural.

Today at PC Exciting Competition for 133rd PC/GA Day
On a clear and cold day at Penn Charter for the 133rd PC/GA Day, Germantown Academy took home the Competition Cup.
Penn Charter won girls cross country, girls water polo, and the girls and boys soccer games, and tied GA in golf on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Germantown Academy's Jerry Griffen-Batchler took home the Geis Trophy in a see-saw 38-35 football game that left GA on top.
See scores, MVPs and photos, including senior recognition, and read details in SportsZone.

PC went up 1-0 in the first half when sophomore Kaila Rahn scored. The goal was set up by a Maggie Boyes corner kick. PC held off Westtown for the rest of the game. For a limited time, footage of the whole game is available on LocalLive Network.
Congratulations, girls soccer! Girls Cross Country Repeats as Inter-Ac Champs
Girls cross country won the Inter-Ac League Championships for the second year in a row. The Quakers' dominant performance included high-placing finishes from Emma Zwall (2nd, 19:28), Julia Dolce (7th, 20:52), Olivia Montini (8th, 21:01), Alicia Newman (11th, 21:22) and Lane Murray (13th, 21:27). Zwall, who won the Inter-Ac in 2018, was outpaced by GA's Isabelle Goldstein, but the Quakers' depth allowed them to clinch the race with a six-point lead on second place finisher Notre Dame.
