Billy and George

Next date: Thursday, February 09, 2023 | 07:30 PM to 09:40 PM

Welcome to the world premiere of Billy and George, written by Ken Jones and Daryl L. Harris. It’s December 25, 1776, just hours before General George Washington and the Continental Army cross the Delaware River to defeat the Hessian soldiers at Trenton, New Jersey. Washington and his closest companion, the enslaved person William “Billy” Lee, prepare for the crossing while discussing, arguing, and challenging the concepts of freedom, war, and love. Come for a nuanced portrait of the nation’s first president and meet the unexpected confidante who influenced Washington’s perspective on peace, freedom, and independence.

ASL interpretation is available on Sun, Jan 29, Thurs, Feb 2, and Sat, Feb 4: please email info@avantbard.org
