UPCOMING EVENTS: 2023 Why does our schedule look so sparse? There’s an explanation! Stacy currently directs the Washington Crossing Fifes and Drums at Washington Crossing Historic Park, Washington Crossing, PA. This keeps her busy on many weekends and Wednesdays throughout the year. Added to that responsibility is a caregiver emergency in her family. She’s been away from home most days and nights for the past 10 months and as a result, has had to decline many offers to present her other programs. Sometime in the future, she hopes that Molly Pitcher and Liberty Tree will return with more frequency. David, however, is not so encumbered, and is ready to take on George Washington and Irish Storytelling bookings, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to book David.
