Our Saws, Scalpels, and Survival battlefield surgical presentation has been lighting up the reviews and packing the Keeping Room Theater night after night.

Despite having great shows Friday and Saturday and adding a performance tonight, you’re still asking for more!

So, we’re cranking up the energy to finish off Labor Day Weekend and adding a show tomorrow evening, plus adding performances every Friday & Saturday night moving forward.

This isn’t a quiet history talk.
This is front row, high intensity, blood and bandages Civil War medicine brought to life by real medically trained actors, no watered down storytelling. Just raw realism, razor sharp accuracy, and a pulse pounding look at the battlefield’s most desperate moments.

A massive shout out to History Recon for capturing the grit, the tension, and the heart of the show in a way that has guests lining up for seats. Absolutely phenomenal work!

And why are people calling it “the most intense Civil War surgery program in Gettysburg”

• A visceral dive into Civil War field surgery
• Historically accurate tools, techniques, and trauma management
• Performed by medically trained professionals
• A theater experience that hits like a cannon blast
• Reviews glowing hotter than a nitrate of silver injection (come see the show, you’ll understand)
• Seats filling faster than Dr. Liston’s amputations (again, see the show!)

Plan your weekends now, this one fills fast.

Catch the show, feel the adrenaline, and step into the chaos of battlefield survival.
