1776
by Peter Stone and Sherman Edwards
March 21, 22, 23, 24, 2002
Directed by B. Michae Quale
The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway musical hits. 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 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 deterined to do the right thing for a fledgling antion.
This "Student Outreach" production has been selected to educate and entertain the 'student' in all of us.
