| Program Description | 12 unique multimedia shows combine a dynamic live performance with archival film to immerse audiences in the sights, sounds, feelings, and experiences of a significant time in history through real non-master narrative points of view. Pre- and post-show discussions with the performer create an active opportunity for students to reflect and discuss the historical era of the production, and how that history relates to current events and their own lives. Designed for accessibility, our flexible, solo-actor format works in both theatrical and non-traditional spaces, from classrooms to auditoriums, for groups of any size. Programs fit into a class period.
