About This Event
It is May 2, 1775 and Rachel Revere has only heard from her beloved husband Paul once since his legendary midnight ride on the 18th of April. Still isolated from one another due to the Siege of Boston, Rachel desperately tries to create a plan to safely take her children: six step-children from Paul’s first marriage and a newborn baby of their own, from the reach of the British Regular Army in Boston. In this program, you will help Rachel, as she carefully considers the dangers and demands of each plan. Find out if Rachel is successful in her perilous mission to unite her family, amidst the wake of an American Revolution.
“Rendezvous with Rachel Revere” is presented by History at Play, a Boston-based theatre company founded in 2010 by Artistic Director Judith Kalaora. The company is dedicated to bringing to life the stories of influential and often overlooked women through immersive historical performances. Kalaora is a professional educator, award-winning playwright, and living historian. She graduated magna cum laude from Syracuse University and completed the Globe Education Program at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London. History at Play performs both nationally in person and globally online.
The program itself is divided into three parts. The first is a theatrical performance, with Kalaora portraying Rachel Revere. The second is a PowerPoint presentation that explores Boston at the start of the American Revolution, focusing on the relationship between the city and British forces. The final portion is an interactive Q&A session with the audience.
