While it is sometimes just fun to playact at becoming a different person, First Person Narrative takes the art to a higher level. In a first person narrative, a performer "becomes" their subject, giving a new insight into the personal aspects of history. This also includes period clothing and the props necessary to talk about the lifestyle.
Each of the professionals listed below have extensively researched the history of their "persona" and can become that person. They are available for your entertainment and education at meetings, schools, history days, fairs, etc.
