Connected with a local historic, cultural or educational organization? Community researcher? Scholar looking to animate your work for the public? Interested being a performer, musician, director, theater crafter? Join the HistoryShares partnership for Public History in performance!

Programs funded in part by HistoryShares are free to the public, adaptable in scale and content, and supported by donations, volunteers, and an option for a  donation subscription series similar to CSA farm shares.

Using the music of various times as the portal, programs illuminate aspects of America's fuller historical, multi-cultural and multi-racial narrative often over-looked, under-told, or hidden in plain sight.

HistoryShares affiiated programs are produced under the Red Skies Tent performance model for Public History: a lively research-based narration is illustrated by music performance, theatrical cameos and archival images to connect the dots between fascinating facts and interpretations drawn from archives, collections, exhibits, and publicly available materials of local historical organizations, libraries, and other  sources.
