1776

Before the ink was dry on the Declaration of Independence, America’s future hung on a knife’s edge. 1776, the Tony Award-winning musical by Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone, takes us inside the hallowed halls of Philadelphia in one of the most defining moments in history. With humor, passion, and drama, we see John Adams’ relentless drive to secure independence clash with the doubts and hesitations of his fellow delegates. Benjamin Franklin lends wit and wisdom, Thomas Jefferson wrestles with words and conscience, and the entire Congress faces impossible questions about liberty, compromise, and the cost of freedom.
Set to a bold and memorable score, 1776 reminds us that democracy has always been contentious, messy, and worth fighting for. In celebration of 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this community outreach production features cameo appearances by local Frederick luminaries.
Please note, this event will take place at our smaller black box theater venue NEW SPIRE ARTS, located across the street from the Weinberg Center.
