The amazing history of Charlton House
On September 23, 2020 by Jeremy JaguschOver the past seven years, it has been my privilege to write the majority of our shows. This also means that I’ve done quite a bit of research and learned some amazing things. The drawback to all of this learning is the fact that for each of our shows, there is only so much info Read More

A photo links four fates
On September 16, 2020 by Jeremy JaguschLast week I wrote briefly about the photo above. As I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on things lately, this seems like the perfect time to go into the story of that photo. I had written previously about a photo I took at the first show of our first season. That blog can be Read More

A picture is worth 1000 words
On August 26, 2020 by Jeremy JaguschWe’ve all heard the phrase a picture is worth a 1000 words, and that every picture tells a story. As time goes on, the people who know the story fade away, and the story is sometimes lost. How different is the real story from our best guess? We are starting a new series this week, Read More

Pier 21: The start of something new
On June 24, 2020 by Jeremy JaguschSince Live History started, we’ve been lucky enough to perform in castles, cities, trains, ships as well as other venues with such amazing histories. In some cases the places we performed in were homes that were passed onto other families, or venues re-purposed. A history ending while a new one begins. Live History has made Read More

That phone call
On May 13, 2020 by Jeremy JaguschBy Jeremy Jagusch, Live History head writer It all started with a phone call. Anytime the subject of Live History comes up, either from seeing a shirt or hoodie I’m wearing (available at our online store found here) or whatnot, the natural question is always something to the effect of “how did you get involved Read More

Whispers of Something New
On May 10, 2020 by Jasmine BowenIt was only about a week into lockdown when I messaged the team about an idea we had. We had already done a few live streams and workshops online, but I thought that there was a possibility we could do more. An actual show? Online? Could we….is it even possible?

A Home Away From Home
On April 30, 2020 by Ian GilliesWhat makes a house a home? As I actively ignore the mound of dishes that is ever piling up in my peripheral, I find myself thinking of this question. Truth be told, it is a thought that I have had a lot as of late. I’m pretty sure self isolation and quarantine do that to Read More

Meeting Your Heroes
On April 24, 2020 by Ian GilliesAll my life I’ve wanted to be a cowboy. Sure, some (if not all) of the inspiration behind such a dream came from a childhood (and bordering on unhealthy) love of Clint Eastwood flicks and Lincoln Logs.

Picturing the Picturesque
On April 15, 2020 by Ian GilliesThat can’t be real… This thought (as well as a series of others that I’ll spare you the details of here), is one I have had more often than not over the course of my time at Live History.
