Sit down, John!
It's the summer of 1776, and the nation is ready to declare independence—if our founding fathers can agree to do it! 1776 follows John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia as they attempt to convince the members of the Second Continental Congress to vote for independence from the shackles of the British monarchy by signing the Declaration of Independence.
Footlighters' production will bring history to life with a unique spin, just in time to celebrate America's 250th birthday!
