TIME TO CELEBRATE THE 250TH! Gear up for the Tony Award-winning musical about the founding of our nation!

Staged on the grounds of the Richter Arts Center (next to Richter Park Golf Course), 100 Aunt Hack Road, in Danbury, performances take place outdoors under the stars Friday through Sunday evenings July 3-18, with additional specially discounted performances on Thursdays July 9 and 16.

With music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and a book by Peter Stone, the show is set in the summer of 1776, when the nation stands on the brink of declaring independence, but only if the founders can overcome their differences and unite.

The action follows John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia as they strive to convince the members of the Second Continental Congress to vote for independence from British rule by signing the Declaration of Independence.

โ€œ1776โ€ is a funny, insightful and compelling musical drama with a striking score and legendary book.
