A Turning of The Tide: Immersive Experience

The Shaker Heritage Society (SHS) is located on the site of America’s first Shaker settlement which was founded in 1776 by Mother Ann Lee and a small group of followers.  The complex is a small oasis located within walking distance from Albany Airport’s main entrance and the Ann Lee Pond Nature Preserve.  Visitors enjoy a mix of historic buildings and natural landscape features, the Shaker cemetery, and apple orchard.    The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday from March through late December.  The grounds are open to the public from dawn to dusk throughout the year.We offer a wide variety of tours, workshops, and programs for youth and adults.  The 1848 Meeting House and 1915 Barn are frequently used by community organizations for meetings and special events.For additional information about the Shaker Heritage Society, please visit www.shakerheritagesociety.org , email director@shakerheritage.org or call 518-456-7890.

Join us for this immersive, site-specific original play on the eve of the Battle of Saratoga!

<p>Audiences will step into the Capital Region on the eve of the Battle of Saratoga. The audience will encounter the American Revolution as it unfolds from multiple, often unheard perspectives. Women navigating their role in the war. Immigrants and Black Americans confront a fragile promise of freedom. Hessian mercenaries, far from home, find their way through the wilderness. Shakers preach a radical gospel of pacifism. And British soldiers face the realities of war. In this production, the audience does not simply observe the past; they walk through it, experiencing the human cost, moral complexity, and emotional urgency of the moments that shaped the nation.</p><p>This program is sponsored in part by Albany County’s AMREV 250th commission. Presented with Siena University and NorthEast Theatre Ensemble.</p>
