Antoine Randolph Watts, Ensign, 1st Rhode Island Regiment
Antoine is a first-person impressionist and living history reenactor of the first order. A resident of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, he studied vocal music at Drexel University for two years.

When he dons 18th Century garb, Antoine speaks with a French accent and takes on the persona of Joseph Bologne, le Chevalier de Saint-George (1745-1799); an Afro-French composer, violin virtuoso swordsman, and colonel during the French Revolution. When he portrays James Forten (1766-1842), Antoine brings to life an American Revolutionary naval veteran, sailmaker, abolitionist, writer, and owner of a Philadelphia sail loft. Antoine's favorite and best-known character is Jacob Clement White Jr. (1836-1902).
