Welcome to 52% Productions where our mission is to highlight the stories of those marginalized by the traditional U.S. history canon, Educate ourselves and others through research and open dialogue, and Examine the inclusion of these stories in the public sphere, particularly museums, historic sites, and tourism vehicles.

52% was founded by Marjie Southerland and Leigh Jameson, both professional actors and tour guides. Leigh and Marjie met while working as performers for the nation's largest living history museum. They share a passionate belief that the voices of the 52% should not be forgotten.
