It is clear that there is a hunger; a visceral need to reunite with the past; to learn from history, and to create a more fortuitous future. It is from this need that History At Play™, LLC (HAP, LLC) was berthed.
HAP, LLC's debut performance, A Revolution of Her Own!™, chronicling the life of Deborah Sampson, premiered in 2010, and has toured nonstop, playing nearly 2,000 times nationwide, and appearing Off-Broadway, on 42nd Street, in New York City. The production's first livestream viewing in March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, yielded nearly 1000 viewers.
About History At Play™, LLC
History At Play™, LLC was created to educate and entertain audiences worldwide. Our Immersive Living History Experiences breathe life into the stories of influential and often forgotten figures. Founder & Artistic Director J. Kalaora created educational escapism through their work as an 18th-Century historical interpreter and tour guide in Boston, MA. It was there that Kalaora portrayed The American Heroine Deborah Sampson and noted the repeated occurrence of guests asking:
"Tell me more about Deborah!"
