1776
March 27 - April 19
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 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.
The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. As we approach 250 years since the founding of the United States, this Tony Award-winning Best Musical provides an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s beginnings and reminds us that the American story is still being written. Experience 1776 on stage this spring at Raleigh Little Theatre!
