CHALLENGER: Soaring with Christa McAuliffe

July 15, 2021 @ 10:00 am

Who is America’s favorite teacher? Ask anyone about Christa McAuliffe and they will tell you exactly where they were when the Challenger shuttle launched; however, few people understand who Mrs. McAuliffe really was. America’s Teacher in Space was an educational pioneer and her goals and accomplishments are explored in this multi-media performance experience.

History At Play™ Founder and Artistic Director Judith Kalaora travelled to Mrs. McAuliffe’s hometown of Framingham, MA and to Concord, NH to discover the true story behind the incredible teacher and American Pioneer. Now, she shares Christa’s spirit with you. Suitable for all ages.

First performed for a live Framingham audience in 2016, Judith is back as Christa during the 35th anniversary of the tragic Shuttle Challenger explosion. Entertaining, educational, and emotional this performance is not to be missed.

This program is the first of many programs to be funded by the Libby Franck Storytelling Fund and is free to the public.
