In this immersive, site-specific theatre event, audiences step into the Capital Region on the eve of the Battle of Saratoga. Throughout the Shaker Heritage site and Mabee Farm, the audience will encounter history unfolding from multiple, often unheard perspectives- women navigating their role in the war, immigrants and Black Americans confronting a fragile promise of freedom, Hessian mercenaries far from home, Shakers preaching the radical gospel of pacifism, and British soldiers facing the realities of war. The audience does not simply observe the past; they walk through it, experiencing the human cost, moral complexity, and emotional urgency of a moment that would help shape the nation.
If you are interested in taking part, come audition on the 30th or 31st at Siena University, sides will be provided!
