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.

Title

Douglass House Maid

Content

A silent role. She clears the room, she snuffs the candle. She is the last person in both scripts to occupy the space after the generals have gone.

The only historical documentation of her comes from physician Benjamin Rush, who encountered her on the morning of January 2nd, 1777 — crying and wringing her hands. She is otherwise unidentified. Name unknown. History undocumented.

A face that conveys interior life despite minimal action.
