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 2,000 times across the country and virtually, receiving accolades from journalists, actors, CEOs, & historians, earning a standing ovation Off-Broadway, on 42nd Street, NYC as an Official Selection of the United Solo Theatre Festival.

The hour-long production 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. 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; years of active combat; and success as the first female professional soldier through interactive storytelling. Deborah's passion will take you back in time!
