Join us for  A Revolution of Her Own! the awe-inspiring story of America’s first professional female soldier, Deborah Samson.

A Revolution of Her Own! features History At Play, LLC founder and artistic director J. Kalaora in an immersive solo performance as Deborah Samson, the first woman to successfully enlist, to professionally fight in, and to be honorably discharged from the American military, during the American Revolution.

An indentured servant by age five, Deborah grew up in a man’s world, where women were naught but second-class subjects. Without the ability to vote nor own property, Deborah knew options were limited; breaking the rules may be necessary to accomplish a greater goal in life. Experience Deborah’s arduous upbringing, one and a half years of active combat, and success as America’s first professional female soldier, through interactive stories and authentic colonial attire.
