This November, Alfonso Freeman brings the story of Basil Biggs to life alongside Chadwick Rawlings as Bass in Gettysburg 1863.

Director Bo Brinkman's new Civil War film explores the experiences of civilians caught in the crossfire, from the battle that changed history to the aftermath that followed.

Although tickets are sold out to the community premiere at Gateway Theater, tickets remain for Meet the Cast at the Shriver House! Meet Alfonso, Chadwick, and their fellow castmates on Thursday, November 12th.

There will be opportunities for autographs and a chance to explore the historic home where much of the movie was filmed.
