About the Show
Celebrate America’s story at a historic moment. As the nation marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, McLean Community Players' “1776” brings the passionate debates, personal rivalries, and hard-won compromises of the Founding Fathers vividly to life. With a rousing score and sharp wit, this Tony Award-winning musical reminds us that democracy was born not in certainty, but in courage, conviction, and collaboration. A timely, entertaining, and surprisingly human portrait of the people behind the revolution.
