Upcoming Projects:
History Alive, Inc. continues to produce new work and collaborate with local organizations with like-minded missions. Upcoming projects include:
Jenny Slew Sues for Her Freedom
The true story of a biracial woman who sued and won against the man who kidnapped and enslaved her. Thank you to the Salem Cultural Council, the Ipswich Cultural Council and the Hamilton-Wenham Cultural Council for providing the seed funding for this important narrative. During the pandemic we folded this live show into an outdoor experience, narrating a broader history of African-American activism on the North Shore.
The Marble Flock
Thank you to the Salem Cultural Council for providing important funds for this multi-modal piece about the year Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne's family spent in Rome surrounded by classical art and a host of convention-challenging artists. During the pandemic we pivoted this from a live show to three-episode, illustrated radio play. We still dream of the live version on stage.
