About the House

Michael Caplan and playhouse 1966

“Since childhood, I’ve dreamed of having a place where people could gather, to entertain ideas and each other. ​House of ShAkE is that place.”

Growing a House

​​

Even back in public school, I imagined opening a “History House” that would combine educational dioramas and re-enactments, my interest in the past, and my budding passion for theatre. The idea’s evolution was gradual and organic, and it was fed by my whole range of experiences, and we laid the foundation of the House in 2017 with A Handbook for Ecstatic Survival by David Earle.

It has truly been the work of a lifetime.
