Click on the Tea Pot to buy your tickets to the 235th Anniversary Boston Tea Party Annual Reenactment.

Add your voice to those of other Patriots and Loyalists concerning the fate of this "bainfull weed"!

Old South's Tea Party Players portray the faces straight out of your history books! Hear from the likes of Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Paul Revere in this recreation of the most famous protest in American history--the Boston Tea Party.

Take on the role of a Patriot or Loyalist and participate in a spirited, interactive town meeting to debate the colonial tea tax. Will you side with the Patriots and demand the tea is sent back to England? Or will you agree with the Loyalists that we should pay the tax?

There are rumblings in the hall that the Sons of Liberty have other plans!

Then, witness the destruction of the tea in a theatrical storytelling piece that will transport you back to Boston Harbor on the night of December 16, 1773.This new ending features the wondrous new puppetry of Butterworth Productions and the colonial fife and drum of the Musick of Prescott's Batallion.
