Series: Role-Playing for Fun and Profit
Description: Re-creating life in past times to educate the public and the historical villages where role-playing takes place can provide teens with the opportunity to learn skills from bygone times, such as blacksmithing or cabinetmaking, and earn a living. Historical villages give people the chance to bring another time to life, using historical tools and wearing period clothing. Costume design, set building, and makeup artistry, among other jobs, are explored, as well as how the experience gained at a historical village can be applied to careers within the tourism and museum industries and in carpentry and acting.
