Step into the sweltering summer of 1776, when a handful of bickering, brilliant, and very human delegates gathered in a Philadelphia chamber to argue, compromise, and ultimately change the world. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, 1776 brings John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and the Continental Congress vividly to life through wit, song, and stirring drama.
This summer, as America marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Halifax Repertory Theatre invites you to witness the birth of a nation as it happened — messy, miraculous, and unforgettable. Join us at the News Journal Center for an evening that turns history into pure theatrical magic, just steps from the Atlantic where America's third century begins.
The story of how it all started — exactly 250 years later.
