SIX's Histo-remix activity

SIX is at the Center this week for a two-week run inside Segerstrom Hall, and since the show is jam-packed with so much 16th century royal history, we thought we’d give our history buffs a bit of a challenge this week! Can you pair the Tudor Queen with the historical fact? (Hint: There may be more than one fact about each Queen!)

Test your history knowledge and check out SIX from now until June 25—ticket information is available here.
