The Groton History Center Presents a Solo Performance by History At Play™, LLC honoring an Educational Pioneer and Teacher In Space.

Who was America's favorite teacher? Ask anyone what they know about Christa McAuliffe and they will tell you exactly where they were when the NASA Challenger shuttle mission launched; however, few people understand who Mrs. McAuliffe really was. America's Teacher in Space was an educational pioneer and her goals and accomplishments are explored in this virtual performance experience, which debuted in 2016. Now, the acclaimed solo performance, CHALLENGER: Soaring with Christa McAuliffe™, will be performed on Saturday January 27, 2024, at 2:00 PM EST.
