New Performance Dates Coming Soon!   
 

 

What we are 


Our troupe of first-person living historians are more than impersonators or re-enactors.  We are serious portrayers of U.S. Presidents and First Ladies.  We have taken countless hours of study and research about these people from the past and have created an interpretation that captures the essence of their individual personalities.  We look at the totality of their lives and the times in which they lived and are not bound by modern-day political correctness or revisionist history.  The Garfields, Lincolns, Roosevelts, and Tafts had very exciting lives without embellishing a moment!  Our troupe members reside in northeastern Ohio but can make arrangements to travel to other locations.


 

Who we are

Our background includes teaching, community theater, and working as interpreters, educators, and researchers at a national presidential site in Mentor, Ohio..


 

What we do

 

 We put our story-telling techniques to use in presenting programs in a most entertaining and thought-provoking manner.  Re-enactment &  historical performances are tailored to your group’s interests and requirements, including photo opportunities and informal interactions.  Most programs are 40-minutes long, followed by a question-and-answer session.  However, we’ve been known to stroll at community events and local eateries, all in the name of educating the public about the Presidents and First Ladies.


 

Venues

Our presidential living historians have brought history to life for schools, historical societies, Civil War Roundtables, Civil War battlefield dedication, civic groups, libraries, ladies’ and men’s organizations, church groups, local public television shows, Garfield Family Reunions (current generations), and parades. Browse here to see some dates, locations and information of past performances.

Ed and Bob have also participated in classroom teleconferencing – distance learning – through Virent Broadcasting Co. (www.virent.net). 

We alter the performances of our historical re-enactments according to our audience needs and interests.
