1776.000000

It’s the summer of 1776, and the nation is ready to declare independence… if only our founding fathers can agree to do it!

1776 follows John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, and Richard Henry Lee and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia as they attempt to convince the members of the second Continental Congress to vote for independence from the shackles of the British monarchy by signing the Declaration of Independence.

A gripping, humorous production featuring a striking score by Sherman Edwards, and book by Peter Stone, which is legendary in its craftsmanship. 1776 is a funny, insightful and compelling drama.
