Chaz Mena

Bernardo de Gálvez, the young and enterprising Spanish Governor of Louisiana, played a key role in the American Revolution—yet he's been largely ignored by history.  As part of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s Revolutionaries in Residence program, actor-scholar Chaz Mena performed Yo Solo: Bernardo de Gálvez on the Stage of the American Revolution, a one-man stage performance written and performed by Mena about “America’s Devoted Friend & Spanish Hero,” a man who led the most diverse army of the day to victory.
