Pay-Per-HAP Immersive Living History Series chronicles influential and often forgotten figures on the 2nd & 4th Friday of every month at 7:30 PM ET (GMT-5)!About this EventOn Friday January 22, 2021, History At Play, LLC (HAP, LLC) travels to 18th Century England and the creation of a theatrical empire with Mrs. Baker, Governess General of Kentish Theatre, a living history performance, featuring Actor and Historical Interpreter Kate Mechedou as British Theatre Impresario, Sarah Baker. Join us for Pay-Per-HAP, produced by History At Play, LLC (HAP, LLC), livestream direct to you! (Pay-Per-HAP Episode #40).In this livestream episodic series, Pay-Per-HAP introduces viewers to Sarah Baker: A provincial dancer and single mother who uses her business acumen to become one of the most successful self-made women of her day. Commencing in 1776, as the widowed Baker assumes control of a rag-tag collection of performers, we experience the delight as her empire grows, and as with all successes, her troubles grow in direct proportion. Ultimately, we encounter an older but not necessarily wiser Mrs. Baker as she reveals her secret: How could a humble dancer afford to build a successful theatre empire? Mrs. Baker muses on her own legacy, including inspiring one of Britains greatest writers. We ask ourselves: Who is responsible for the creation of myth?For 16 years, Kate Mechedou served as Creative Director of Past Pleasures, Ltd. producing costumed interpretation at the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace for the Historic Royal Palaces. Kate has played and produced events at historic sites across England, spanning 2000 years of British History. She first portrayed Mrs. Baker at the annual Pleasures on the Pantiles festival at Tunbridge Wells. In the United States, Kate has worked as a consultant at Colonial Williamsburg. In January 2020, Kate created her own company, Mrs. Bakers Medway Theatre Company, Ltd. She continues to build immersive theatre productions and arts tours, highlighting local history at her dockside hometown of Chatham, in Kent, United Kingdom.PHOTO: Kate Mechedou as Sarah Baker.No recording, reproduction, distribution, nor download of Pay-Per-HAP is permitted.
