  3. A Revolution of Her Own!™ Deborah Sampson


History At Play™, LLC (HAP) has garnered international acclaim for their solo and ensemble Immersive Living History Experiences, chronicling the lives of legendary figures who changed society.

A Revolution of Her Own!™, the inspirational story of America’s first professional female soldier Deborah Sampson, has been performed over 2,500 times across the country and virtually, receiving accolades from journalists, actors, CEOs, & historians, earning a standing ovation Off-Broadway, on 42nd Street, NYC, and thrice named as one of the “Top 7 Things to Do in NYC” by The New York Times.

The hour-long performance chronicles Deborah’s life: An indentured servant by age five, Deborah grew up in a man's world, where women were naught but second-class subjects. Deborah knew options were limited; breaking the rules may be necessary to accomplish a greater goal in life.
