A HISTORY BRIEF OF THE PORTUGUESE!

 
Come with us as we part the mists of time and sail back through Portuguese history seeking out its ancient glory.

Back to legendary Lusitania and the  folk-hero Viriatus who outwitted Roman general after Roman general until....

Stay the course with us as we witness the battles of Portugal's first King - Afonso Henriques -  and the birth of his nation.

Join us as we navigate time and strange seas to join Prince Henry on his quest for New Worlds....

2000 years of Portuguese history all told in 20 minutes!

Fast paced. Fun. Poetic. (it's written in rhyme) And ACCURATE!
 

Produced and Performed by the Portuguese American Players...
a theater group of Southeastern Massachusetts, made up of talented, semi-professional, local actors with a passion for creating new material based on Portuguese heritage.

Under the artistic direction of  Allan Moniz, graduate of Bridgewater College with a BA in Theater, the group has performed "History Brief" at festivals and"Dia de Portugal" ceremonies from New Bedford to Provincetown.

Mr. Moniz and the troupe are presently working on a new play to add to their repertoire tentatively entitled Powerful Portuguese Women from our Past.

The Players would like to gratefully thank The Portuguese Consul of New Bedford and the Institudo de Camoes for their generous support of our endeavors.
Viva!
