SF History Days - 2017
On the weekend of March 4th and 5th, performers from Actions Past Players made their 6th annual appearance at the historic Old Mint. This very successful event, San Francisco History Days, gives guests the opportunity to directly interact with community historians, archivists, genealogists, archaeologists, researchers, educators, living history reenactors and other history enthusiasts in a free Community Open House at the historic site.
Our cast included over twenty actors each day, portraying a range of characters (both the famous and the infamous) from San Francisco's colorful past. Actions Past Players offered presentations, first-person interpretation and meet and greet and an a historically accurate Faro table, run by the noted gambler, Charles Cora.
