Historic Offerings for Lovers of the
Past
Dear History Lover,
Greetings of the season! At the culmination of the year, we cannot help but reflect on all we have experienced: our successes; our failures; and all we hope to
achieve. I am extraordinarily proud of the manner in which History At Play™, LLC (HAP) managed to navigate a global crisis and, likewise, how we have bounced back to reconvene in-person performances on a nationwide scale.
With this newsletter, we express our gratitude to those who have believed in us. Please enjoy a selection of authors who have acknowleded HAP's
years of dedicated research to inform their works. As was customary in 17th and 18th century tradition, consider giving a New Year's gift to the History Lovers in your life (yourself included)!
