NOW it's your turn!

The 235th Anniversary Boston TEa Party

 Annual Reenactment

Sunday, December 14, 2008 at 5:30 pm

 
 

Add your voice to those of other Patriots and Loyalists concerning the fate of this "bainfull weed"!

Old South's Tea Party Players portray the faces straight out of your history books! Hear from the likes of Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Paul Revere in this recreation of the most famous protest in American history--the Boston Tea Party.

You are invited to join in the lively debate at our interactive town meeting. Will you side with the Patriots and demand that the tea must not land? Or will you agree with the Loyalists that we must pay the tax and accept the tea?

There are rumblings in the hall that the Sons of Liberty have other plans!

Next, you will witness the "destruction of the tea" firsthand and hear tales of the evening from one of its participants, George Robert Twelves Hewes.

This year's program features wondrous new puppetry by Butterworth Productions and the colonial fife and drum of the Musick of Prescott's Batallion.
