“Lau­ra Knecht is quite the sto­ry­teller. Our book­club loved every­thing from the exten­sive cook­book dis­play to her fas­ci­nat­ing his­to­ry of ‘the joy of cook­ing’ over the past 100 years. She edu­cates and moti­vates while trans­port­ing us all to a dif­fer­ent era as though time trav­el­ing. We booked 2026 and can’t wait for our next adventure.”

— Don­na Schmidt, Bar­ring­ton, IL

Inquiries

“Thank you, Lau­ra, for the amaz­ing day out with our women’s club. Eliz­a­beth Arden brought to life was so infor­ma­tive and engross­ing. We are all look­ing for­ward to see­ing you this Fall to meet the women of Fifth Avenue. Thank you once again.”

— Con­nie Reston

“Our recent pro­gram by Lau­ra Knecht went above and beyond our expec­ta­tion. Her cre­ative approach to both art and lit­er­a­ture made learn­ing about the Per­son­al Librar­i­an of JP Mor­gan absolute­ly engrossing.”

— Shelly B., Northamp­ton, PA

semiquincentennial 250 anniversary

In honor of our 250th year, Laura “The Storyteller” brings The Revolutionary Samuel Adams to life

This time­ly and dra­mat­ic per­for­mance is inspired by the Pulitzer Prize–winning book by Sta­cy Schiff. Expe­ri­ence Samuel Adams’s extra­or­di­nary con­tri­bu­tion to the Amer­i­can Rev­o­lu­tion as though you’re hear­ing it for the very first time. With lofty ideals and bare‑knuckled deter­mi­na­tion, Adams led what may be the great­est cam­paign of civ­il resis­tance in our nation’s 250‑year history.
