Historical Perspectives for Children presents strong, character role models to students in grades K-8 by portraying the lives of famous women and men in history whose stories tie into the social studies, science and language arts curricula. Each character's life is dramatically reenacted from childhood through adulthood, allowing children to see the process they went through to achieve their goals.

These multi-media portrayals are accented with slides, sound effects, taped voiceover and costume changes to truly bring each character to life.

At the end of each program, it is our hope children say to themselves, "Maybe I can do that someday!"

Students learn finger sign language from "Helen."

Programs are 35 minutes in length followed by ten minutes of questions, and teacher preparation materials are sent out one month prior to the performance.

Our special "Interview the Author" opportunity is also included with all programs.  Please call our office for further details.

All of HPC's actors and actresses reside in the city in which they are performing, allowing us to support your local arts community.
