There are many bonds that make people stay together: marriage, a lifelong commitment, similar interests and crazy glue. The actors who portray your guides today share none of these qualities with a few exceptions. All of the guides have a lifelong passion to perform and to entertain strangers they meet on the street. Though the guides all pursue other careers as their first love and passion is for the stage, or in this case the sidewalk. Part of that passion resides in their hope to present history in a way that you might actually remember it and not in a traditional manner. By using improvisation, each tour is unique and different than the previous 700. It also helps that all the guides are lifelong friends who actually enjoy each other’s company and who love to perform together. Some are married, some were married and others believe that relationships are best kept private and between consenting farm animals.
