What is a Living History presentation?  It’s simple. An actor brings an historical character back to life.  How do they do it? The actor does in-depth research into the character they have selected and create a presentation around the information that they have learned. The actors do not use a script that has been produced by someone else, but have created their own original dialogue. We at MadCap Living History do our best to represent the character as realistically as they were in life. We delve deeply into their life, and focus on various aspects that we find interest, and believe will find entertaining. We do our best to be accurate and respectful of all of our characters, even the ones that weren’t so respectable.

Two 19th-century portraits, "Dawn" and "Mid Day," were returned to their home in The Woodward Opera House just before the close of 2020. The paintings were commissioned for the theater and are original to 1884 when it opened.

The Woodward Opera House Conservancy is pleased to announce the addition of Dena Hess-McKinstry to The Woodward’s staff as house manager, effective January 1, 2021.
