Speaker's Guild

 The Guild has several members who do living history presentations. These are entertaining and factual, providing an insight into times past and social social issues of their day.  Our Family-Friendly presentations can be tailored to fit the requirements of your event.   We offer narrated period fashion shows covering eras from 1864 through 1912 – from Territorial Capital to Statehood.   


  • These presentations are offered free but donations are always accepted and  go towards fulfilling our mission to the theater
