INTENT - A Revolutionary Theater Event
Paramount Hudson Valley Arts (PHVA) will host its annual Fall Benefit on Sunday, Oct. 18, at the historic Paramount Theater in Peekskill. The afternoon will bring together music, theater and Hudson Valley history while supporting PHVA's year-round arts education and community programming.
The event begins at 1 p.m. with Music & Cider and a special guest appearance by Daisy Jopling's Rays of Liberty, performing Revolutionary tunes.
At 2 p.m., a cast of seven actors will present a full reading of INTENT, a new historical fiction play by Mona Z. Smith inspired by one of the most famous espionage plots of the American Revolution.
INTENT interweaves the true story of British spy Major John André with the fictional story of Katje, a widowed tavern worker whose son has joined the rebellion and is missing in action. Set at a time when the emerging nation was divided by a deadly clash of convictions, the play explores how the politics and battles of war collide with the very personal grief of the families left behind.
Seven actors portray more than 20 characters, including André, Benedict Arnold, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, General Nathanael Greene, Benjamin Tallmadge and the Marquis de Lafayette. For more information and tickets, visit paramounthudsonvalley.com.
