Content

"Strategy Room" is a captivating video installation that features multiple rooms and screens, bringing to life General George Washington's strategic meeting on the eve of the crucial Battle of Princeton. This immersive experience takes place entirely within the historic Douglass House in Trenton.

The Douglass House, an authentic 18th-century building, served as Washington's actual headquarters before the battle and will be carefully dressed to reflect this era for both the filming and public display. Although this project commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Princeton, the short film will be installed as a lasting public exhibit at the Douglass House.

We are seeking to fill 12 roles for this production.

Roles Details

Title

Colonel John Fitzgerald

Content

Washington's aide-de-camp and close personal friend. Irish Catholic, born in County Wicklow, emigrated to Virginia in 1769; his accent should be present but softened by eight years in Alexandria.

Fitzgerald carries the most morally charged dialogue in the parlor. He defends Washington's treatment of the Hessian prisoners with precision and care, choosing every word deliberately. He is loyal, educated, and articulate, but not entirely comfortable with everything he is asked to defend. That discomfort should be visible, but only just.

Deep in his work when we meet him. Watchful. Economical.
