Sarah's historical interpretation in the persona of Abigail Adams covers a broad range of experiences for audiences of all ages, from presentations at large-scale re-enactments to special museum events to school groups.
Sarah bases her portrayal of Abigail on the information gleaned from Abigail and John's letters to each other, their correspondence with friends and family, and a thorough study of the timeline of Abigail's life as it wove through the founding of the United States of America, including her time abroad with John during his diplomatic missions to Europe. Sarah presents an unvarnished view of this country's origins, including the fact that Abigail Adams grew up in a household that enslaved other human beings. Sarah does not personally tolerate gatekeeping or bullying of any kind, including (but not limited to) racism, bigotry, misogyny, ableism or ageism, and she will only collaborate with organizations and groups that share those values.
