It was quite fun, and educational. They had actors in period dress, not only acting out and narrating the history, but adding humor to it as well. For example, "Peter - the rope maker's apprentice" (played by a woman) went around the room asking people where they are from, and when someone said, "Texas", he said, "where is this place?" Then the guy was quick enough to respond, "Mexico". There was audience participation with role…”
