As part of our continuing America 250 celebrations, we're pleased to bring the acting group Drama from the Past to the Barn at Mabee Farm! They'll present "Rendezvous with Treason: The André/Arnold Conspiracy," a dramatic portrayal of two of the most intriguing characters in the American Revolution – Major John André and General Benedict Arnold and their fateful meeting in New York in September of 1780. The production allows these infamous men an opportunity to tell their side of the story and their motivation behind the plot that could have ended the cause for independence. Running time: 50 minutes, followed by Q&A.
