Cupid Reimagined: Tales of Love and Mischief  Thursday, February 5th 12:30 P.M. Step into the enchanting world of Cupid this Valentine’s Day season! Historical Presenter, Michelle Gibbons will captivate audiences with her female portrayal of Cupid, reimagining the classic winged archer as a mischievous yet empowering goddess of love. Drawing from ancient roots, Michelle weaves the history of Cupid—from the Roman god of desire, son of Venus, inspired by the Greek Eros—into the evolution of Valentine’s Day, later commercialized in the 19th century with mass-produced cards. In her performance, the feminine Cupid delights audiences with fictitious tales of matchmaking magic, such as secretly enchanting mismatched suitors to spark true passion or playfully misfiring arrows that hilariously detour through time to unite star-crossed lovers from different eras. This fresh, empowering twist not only educates but ignites the imagination, making Michelle’s performance the perfect heartfelt experience to draw crowds seeking romance and history this Valentine’s Day.
