Celebrate the Semiquincentennial with CCT! January marks the start of America’s 250th year, and CCT will honor the occasion with its presentation of the musical 1776. The story follows the activities of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, and the other founding fathers as they struggle to create a new government for the infant United States during a sweltering July in Philadelphia. The music is rousing and the story funny, moving, and inspirational.
