Dramatic performance of “CATO: A Tragedy”

Join us for a free performance of “Cato: A Tragedy” by Live History. This play, written by British writer and politician Joseph Addison in 1712, was among the most popular stage productions during the generation of America’s founding, and multiple Founding Fathers, including George Washington, were inspired by the play’s dramatization of commitment to liberty in times of tyranny.

This performance is brought to you by the Kingsbridge Historical Society and co-sponsors Bronx County Historical Society and Van Cortlandt House Museum.
