Welcome to Stacy Roth's Home Page
Who is Stacy Roth? Interpreter, author, educator, information specialist, and-- The Tazmanian Devil of Living History. She whirls through multiple historical periods, creating, performing, consulting, and training others for highly-interactive historically-themed interpretation programs for museums, schools, and other organizations. She writes, eats, and sleeps living history and never stops dreaming up techniques to make the past relevant to audiences of all ages.
History on the Hoof (David Emerson & Stacy Roth) offers historical programs for museums, schools, and community groups. Our techniques include music & song, interactive activities & demonstrations, and roleplaying. We also organize special events & festivals and are available for training and consulting.
Information on my magnum opus,
Past Into Present: Effective Techniques for First-Person Historical Interpretation. (Chapel Hill, North Carolina: University of North Carolina Press, 1998).
A brief list of topics available for training your site's or organization's living history staff.
Spiced Punch is a quartet with three historical repertoires: Victorian (& earlier) Christmas songs and other tunes of the season, sea songs, and Colonial songs. Our foursome is comprised of David Emerson, Stacy Roth, and Tom & Marianne Tucker (of Tuckers' Tales Puppet Theater). Click here for a schedule of public performances. Not to be confused with the Spice Girls.
Glossary, bibliography, site list, articles.
This is how Stacy cuts loose in her spare time. It has absolutely nothing to do with living history!!! Not for the prudish.
