About the show:

1776 is a powerful, funny, and deeply human story about the people behind the birth of our nation, and we are thrilled to bring it to life with our community.

We invite performers of all backgrounds and experience levels who have a passion for storytelling, strong ensemble work, and bold character choices to audition. Our goal is to create a collaborative, respectful, and energetic rehearsal environment where history is honored and artists are supported. We look forward to meeting you and sharing this exciting journey together.

• Prepare 16–32 bars of music, preferably from 1776.
