Our theatre could barely accommodate the demand for “1776” when we last produced it, so we’ve brought back this Tony Award-winning musical about the not-so-inevitable creation of the Declaration of Independence. See our country’s founders as real human beings finding their way through the uncharted territory of rebellion and nation building.

“1776 is a play so resonant, so honest and so engaging that it is a must see musical.” Metroland
“The classic 1969 musical about the creation of the Declaration of Independence… dovetails perfectly with the Institute's mission to make theater that educates and entertains at the same time. It’s tuneful, funny and, by its final moments, moving.” Times Union
