2026 Events

The Bachmann Players of Easton will present an original play – “Edge of Revolution” – at the Hellertown Historical Society’s Tavern venue with two performances on November 19 and 21, beginning at 6 p.m. each evening.

“Edge of Revolution” takes place in the wake of the Boston Tea Party, after the British Parliament has closed the port of Boston and imposed a series of harsh new laws upon Massachusetts. Now, the citizens of Easton and Northampton County must decide where they stand.

In a recreation of a meeting that occurred in the Courthouse on Easton’s Center Square in June, 1774,  Patriot George Taylor, outspoken loyalist Louis Gordon, and their fellow townsmen gather to debate the crisis. Tempers rise, alliances shift, and the future of the colonies hangs in the balance.

Blending drama, humor, history, and audience participation,“Edge of Revolution” invites you into a divided colonial community at the moment when protest is becoming rebellion—and ordinary citizens must choose between loyalty, conscience, and independence.

Attendees will be served a traditional colonial tavern dinner of chicken pot pie in individual pans, carrot cake muffins, a salad, and apple cobbler for dessert. Cheese and cracker trays will be placed at each table, and adult beverages will be provided.
