1776 at Cortland Repertory Theatre

The birth of our nation blazes to vivid life in this Tony Award winning musical about the creation of the Declaration of Independence. With a quick witted book and a playful score, this one-of-a-kind musical puts a human face on our Founding Fathers: proud, uncertain, irritable, and ultimately noble figures who are determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation. Follow John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson as they attempt to convince the Continental Congress to vote for independence. Funny, insightful, and stirring, it’s an exciting way for the entire family to celebrate our country’s birth. You’ll be proud to be an American!
