Student Plays
Have history come alive for students by facilitating a theatrical performance based on events from the Civil War with Paths to Freedom: Slavery, Emancipation, and the Power of the President or with the War of 1812 with Forged By Fire: Dolley Madison, The White House, and the War of 1812.
Both plays were created by White House Historical Association’s educators using primary source research and geared towards 4-6 grade students. These student plays were previously performed during field trips to the David M. Rubenstein National Center for White House History, but now we are sharing them with everyone.
