Mary Jeanne Bialas has been an educator and presenter for the past 30 years. She has taught high school English, literature, and drama, especially enjoying the Renaissance and Victorian periods. Her love for living history has been significant to her experiences with historic re-enactments and costumed characters of these eras. Traveling across the country, she has charmed audiences of all ages with her quick wit and uncanny ability to walk audiences through a time travel adventure into the past. Mary Jeanne's love of antique clothing has brought life to her exhibits and Victorian programs as she connects with the social, religious, and political aspects of the last half of the nineteenth century allowing her to share more than one secret from the 1800s...truly a Victorian secret!
