Crime and
Punishment
Colonial Americans did not have HBO, bowling or shopping malls. So
what did they do for sport and entertainment? Well, they spied on their
neighbors, of course! We examine punishments for law-breakers and the
tools used to carry out these punishments. Everyone in the audience is a
criminal, so BEWARE, and sneak a peek into punishments, colonial style,
if you DARE.
First Ladies, Part
I & II
Although it's the President of the United States who runs for office, his
wife also becomes a very public figure, often times, to her dismay. Many
a First Lady has shed a tear or two upon learning of her husband's election
victory. This show looks at the personal trials, triumphs and private details
of our very public First Ladies. This topic is broken into two separate
shows. First Ladies Part I is Martha Washington to Frances Clara
Cleveland. Part II is Ida McKinley to Michelle Obama.
The Dressing
Room
Today, if you see a person walking down the street in a white lab coat,
what profession do you assume they practice? A doctor, of course. But
how would you recognize a physician in the 1600s? What were "Burberry"
or "Versace" in the 1850s? You can tell so much about a person by the
way they dress. Take a walk down the runway with Sneak Peek
Productions and learn how to differentiate between the haves and the
have-nots. Audience members will be clothed in period fashions from
1550-1900. "The Dressing Room" is available after March 15, 2012.
Under the
Petticoats
Have you ever wondered about the day-to-day lives of our Colonial
ancestors? Were the good old days really that good? Exactly how did one
use a chamber pot? How many skirts did one woman wear at a time? How
often did they bathe? For answers to these and other fascinating
questions, schedule some time peeking Under the Petticoats.
Unsinkable
April 15, 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
How much do you really know about the Titanic? If your knowledge
comes from movies or romantic books, you might be in for a surprise.
For instance, it wasn't just the iceberg that helped to sink the Titanic. But
don't let the tragic end of the world's largest ocean liner overshadow its
extravagance. Travel with Sneak Peek aboard the luxurious floating palace
that was the Titanic. Fair warning though. Each audience member will
become one of the Titanic's passengers or crew. Some will survive and
some will not. "Unsinkable" is available after February 15, 2012.
Victorian Tea
Party
Travel back to the gentle and refined Victorian Age by attending a
Victorian Tea party. You supply the tea and cakes and I’ll supply the
calling cards, language of the flowers and etiquette lessons. This is one
afternoon which promises to entertain and educate. For food and serving
suggestions, please click

Victorian
Christmas
The Victorian spirit of Christmas is alive and well in today's modern
Christmas traditions. Christmas trees, an orange in your stocking and
holiday cards are quaint gifts from the past.
Each show attendee receives a holiday gift. This show will warm your
heart and rekindle the belief in the magic of Christmas.
Holiday Tales
Storytelling at its best. Heartwarming tales for the holiday season as told
by a Victorian Lady. Stories appropriate for all ages and groups.
Witches
"Witches" will look at witchcraft through history from the perspective of
the accused and the accusers, with that special Sneak Peek twist, of
course. Audience members may just find themselves accused of
witchcraft and a trial may break out at any moment!

Prostitution" and "Weddings Unveiled". These shows include adult content and as such, will
