Historian Mark Schneider will appear as General Lafayette in 1824 as he reflects on his role during the American Revolution. A French aristocrat inspired by the Revolution, he volunteered at his own expense, becoming a Major General and favorite of George Washington. This timely presentation marks the approach of the 200th Anniversary of Lafayette’s return to America in 1824 as “guest of the Nation” in which he visited all 24 states and all surviving presidents. This program takes place during that tour. As the Marquis, Mark Schneider has written and performed in a variety of performances that cover the extensive history of Lafayette.
