#ScribesAndMakers 20 April: Have you ever read or performed your work in front of an audience?

Yes. Many years ago I performed in a couple of short children's plays I wrote.

During the second half of my working life, 28 years, I was Tourism Director for my town and created several historical walking tours and programs that I delivered weekly or monthly from spring to fall. Most recently was a program at the historical Fort Phoenix, the fun, entertaining, and educational "Pirates & Privateers" presentation. The script of the program included stories about the fort, local privateering during the Revolution, and life during the 1770s. It was held every Friday morning, weather permitting, in June, July, August, and September from 2016 through 2025.

The photo is my adult child and me portraying Caleb the powder monkey and Greybeard, a privateer during the Revolutionary War.
