About this Event
"Welcome to Midday: History Repeating" is a storytelling show about how after growing up in Mississippi, Sharon Spell landed a job as a Victorian house museum docent in Pittsburgh. As she led tours through each of the public and private rooms where a Gilded Age robber baron and his family once lived, Sharon recognized this compartmentalization in her own life. She had made a series of mistakes and to publicly save face couldn’t let on how miserable she was in private. Folks heard her southern accent at work and asked, "How did you get here?" Someway, somehow, she would have to confront the reasons "how" in order to change the course of her own life's tour.
No matter where we go, history will repeat until we learn from our past.
Directed by Julia Whitehouse
