In this highly charged election year, join us to witness the birth of a nation as our forefathers struggle to craft the Declaration of Independence. This nostalgic musical dramatizes the efforts of John Adams to persuade his colleagues to vote for American independence and to sign the document. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the men behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation.
