Description
Benedict and Peggy Arnold by Dave & Gretchen Loda
Dave Loda will portray Benedict Arnold in character at two stages of his career. The first as an American Major General after Saratoga, about to take command of West Point after leaving Philadelphia with his new wife Peggy Shippen. The second will be after the betrayal as a British Provincial Brigadier General as he is about to leave NYC to attack New London in a British attempt to distract Washington and the French fleet away from Cornwallis, who was bottled up in Yorktown Virginia. Gretchen Loda will portray Peggy Shippen and talk about and perform some of the popular songs during the late 18th century in both Europe and the American Colonies.
