What people are saying!
“I’m a retired man, long time married, and allow my wife to drag me to Plays now and then. This was one of, if not the best in recent memory. I highly recommend this one!”
“We just saw the final performance of this season’s production of ‘1776’. It was OUTSTANDING! I have seen around a dozen different productions of 1776 including the movie and a community theatre production in Texas that I participated in. This was definitely one of the best. “
“We attended Sunday’s matinee of “1776!” The cast did a wonderful job. I loved the diversity in the cast – women and African American actors also! I very nice change to the original show I saw on Broadway in 1970! 👏👍Bravo!”
