Thursday, March 26, 2026, 7:30 pm - Sunday, April 5, 2026, 2:00 pm
Festival Playhouse - Creative Arts Center

 
This production reflects and reimagines politics in a way not to be missed. The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the Americans 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. Directed and Choreographed by Greg Hellems (last year's director of Alice By Heart) with Music Direction by Wade Russo. 
 
Show Dates: 3/26 -4/5
