Historic Savannah Foundation (HSF) will host a B.S. in History: Historical Fact or Hysterical Fiction — an interactive, hilarious evening where the truth is up for debate — on Thursday, Oct. 22nd at 7:30 p.m. at the Davenport House Museum, located at 323 E. Broughton St. in Savannah, Ga.
Comedian J. Steinbrunner will serve as the evening's host as three local comedians present six artifacts from the Davenport House Museum's collection to the audience. Each comedian knows the true story behind just one object, but for every other artifact, they'll have to rely on quick thinking, creativity, and their best powers of persuasion.
Audience members will choose which objects come into play, then listen as each comedian tells the story behind them. Only one story is rooted in historical fact, while the other two versions are fiction. After each round, it's up to the audience to decide who's telling the truth by casting their votes and testing their instincts. Attendees can expect surprising artifacts, outrageous stories, plenty of laughs, and the reminder that truth can often be stranger — and funnier — than fiction.
RESERVE YOUR SPOT: A B.S. in History is open to the public and designed for adults ages 18+. General admission tickets are available for $20 per person. Table seating is available for $30 per person (five seats per table). Tickets are currently available online at davenporthousemuseum.org/public-programs.
