The story of the struggle to complete the Declaration of Independence- with a twist! In honor of the 100th Anniversary of Women being granted the right to vote, this production of 1776 will feature an all-female cast.
1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we witness the struggle our founding fathers: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation. We promise that this will be a very special production that will be sensational on many levels. But, Mr. Adams, He Plays the Violin, Cool, Cool Considerate Men, Molasses to Rum, are a few of the memorable songs.
