The Boston Tea Party

Step inside Old South Meeting House on December 16, 1773, and become part of the meeting that changed American history.

The Boston Tea Party: An Interactive History Play transforms the audience into the citizens of colonial Boston as Samuel Adams leads them through one of the most consequential days of the American Revolution. As tensions rise over the Tea Act, audience members debate taxation, representation, civil disobedience, property rights, and the growing conflict between Massachusetts and Great Britain.

Should the tea be unloaded? Boycotted? Sent back to England? Or destroyed?

Through votes, discussion, volunteer participation, and a dramatic recreation of the events at Griffin's Wharf, the audience experiences the Boston Tea Party not as something whose outcome is already known, but as a dangerous decision being made in real time.

Designed for one performer with simple staging, this interactive historical play is ideal for schools, libraries, museums, historical societies, community theaters, educational programs, and Revolutionary-era commemorations.

History is no longer something the audience watches.

They become part of it.
