THE RED BANK / WHITALL PROJECT

I love playing real people from American history. This past June, I took on the role of Colonel Christopher Greene (below) in the RED BANK-WHITALL PROJECT, a Revolutionary War-era historical re-animation written by NYU Professor Joe Salvatore.

The Battle of Red Bank took place in 1777 near the Delaware River, just south of Philadelphia.

The project highlighted the major players of that conflict, including Colonel Greene, who commanded the 1st Rhode Island Regiment (America’s first primarily African American military regiment), and Ann Whitall, a Quaker woman whose farm was occupied by Green and his Colonial forces.
