1776 The Musical
Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts 325 Minor Street, Kenner, Louisiana 70062
John B. Barrois
The turning point in American history blazes to vivid life in Rivertown Theaters' November musical offering, 1776. A funny, insightful and compelling musical with a striking score and legendary book, 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history, showing us the men behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, charming and ultimately noble figures determined to do the right things for the fledging nation. Be inspired by our founding fathers as they attempt to convince Congress to vote for independence from the shackles of the British monarch by signing the Declaration of Independence. November 4—20. 8 pm Fridays and Saturdays, 2 pm Sundays. $36-$40. rivertowntheaters.com.
