The Dickens Carolers

We give the holidays a true Victorian twist. Our fabulous caroling group is decked out and ready to deck the halls Charles Dickens style! Top hats, bonnets, billowing skirts, Victorian boots…all costumes reflect the life and times of the early 19th century. Coupled with the traditional carols of the season, The Dickens Carolers are a singular way to spice up the holidays.

We’re for hire! email bootstheater1@gmail.com for details.

Workshops

Family-friendly and interactive, our history workshops are designed with the entire family in mind. Always fun and informed, we give kids and adults the chance to learn about past customs in a hands-on experience. Our “Tussie Mussie” Workshops are a specialty… the chance to create your own Victorian flower bouquet (“Tussie Mussie”) that contains a secret message represented by the particular flowers and herbs you choose. Tell someone you love them, congratulate or send get well wishes. The “Language of Flowers” was an important part of life in the 19th century.
