The company features Darci Tucker and Terry Yemm, both veteran museum educators with almost 35 years combined experience teaching history at Colonial Williamsburg, the nation’s premier living history museum. Both have extensive experience in working with children, developing museum programming, and teaching adult audiences.

 Playwright, actress and storyteller Darci Tucker is a graduate of UCLA. She has authored many successful lesson plans, is a frequent presenter in schools and at educators’ conferences nation-wide, and trains teachers and museum professionals to use storytelling and character interpretation as teaching tools.
