Thomas Tear, Karen Jessee, and Roxanna Hurst, have been active members of the living history community for over ten years. They enjoy bringing the skills learned from their shared background in theater arts to our living history programs.

Karen's and Roxanna’s many years of experience as educators allows them to add a unique perspective to our programs. Thomas Tear’s experience in costume and scenic design brings historic perspective and beauty to our presentations.

Living History
All of our programs are carefully researched to avoid the "Urban Legend" approach to history. Our clothing is meticulously researched and historically documented. We regularly attend lectures and workshops to build on our knowledge and to keep up our programs fresh and interesting. Living history is our passion.
