The Period Events &
Entertainments Re-Creation Society, Inc., is a Nonprofit Corporation dedicated
to remembering, researching, and re-creating the performing arts of the past.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, we endeavor to accomplish our noble goals
by sponsoring events, giving classes, performing in various living history
events, and just generally carrying on. Historic dance, drama, music, literature
and costume are all a part of PEERS’ activities. More than anything else, we are
dedicated to the idea of entertainment as something for people to do
rather than watch.
The main activities of PEERS have traditionally centered around our historical
and literary re-creation events.
These have covered a wide
number of historical periods and have included such diverse events as a
Canterbury Tales Feast & Ball, a recreation of Lord Capulet’s Ball from Romeo
and Juliet, an outdoor Restoration Fete and Ball, an 18th-Century Scarlet
Pimpernel Ball, a Mostly Mozart Ball set in the Amadeus universe, a Hamilton
Ball, a Jane Austen Tea, Fete and Assembly, a Phantom of the Opera Masquerade
Ball, a Sherlock Holmes Mystery Party and Ball, an Edwardian Music Hall, a
bi-lingual Moulin Rouge Ball, a Tango Tea, a 1920’s Speakeasy, a 1930’s Mystery
Party, a 1941 Evening in Casablanca, a Film Noir Black & White Ball, a variety
of Victorian Balls and our famous annual Le Bal des Vampires. As a change of
pace we also give fantasy and science fiction-themed costume balls set in a
galaxy far, far away, on Middle Earth, on starships bound for adventure, and in
historical times visited by a certain time-traveling Doctor.
How do you participate in the activities of PEERS? First of all, by coming to
our events. You may purchase tickets on our website or by mail or subscribe
for a year’s worth of events. If you’d like to be on our electronic mailing list, just send a message to us at
peers@peersdance.org. And, of course, like all nonprofit organizations we are
happy to accept donations. Donations may be made by check or via PayPal, and
PEERS is also registered with eScrip.
When you attend a PEERS event, you have a great deal of flexibility in how to participate. Many people dress up in appropriate costumes, but many do not. Some people choose to portray particular historical or literary characters; others simply come to enjoy themselves. The choice is yours. Remember the cardinal rule of PEERS: If you’re having fun, you’re doing it right!
