FREE SCREENING FOR MEMBERS
You'll be seeing stars and stripes as the most fascinating leaders in American history come to life like you've never seen them before in this rip-roaring, Tony Award-winning musical about the birth of a nation. With the Boston Harbor still stained from over-taxed British tea, a revolution is brewing in the colonies, and England has thousands of troops headed for America's shores to squelch her subjects' freedom-loving spirit. It's up to John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson to convince a stubborn congress of British colonists to unite as American patriots and turn the inevitable war with England into a Declaration of Independence.
