The Histrionic Academy is a group of actors, educators, and historical interpreters who have come together to bring history to life through the medium of the theatre. We pride ourselves on our ability to focus on visitors and we are dedicated to providing the best possible experience at the best possible value.

'Play-acting' was banned in Colonial New England, due to the fact that many of the lawmakers in New England were Puritans. The strict Puritans viewed the theatre as sinful, and actors and actresses immoral. They passed laws aimed at keeping New England theatre-free. The origin of our company name can be found in the methods used to circumvent these laws:

To sneak their theatre companies past the Puritans, a few clever managers announced that they were not, in fact, a theatre, but a 'Histrionic Academy'. "We're not performing a play, sir..." they might say, "We're presenting a moral dialogue!"

Group Rate available for 15 or more guests.
