If politics were as satisfyingly entertaining as Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts? production of 1776, the recent presidential election could have been far more enjoyable. Imagining the Founding Fathers tripping the light fantastic while hammering out the ideals of the Declaration of Independence is a remarkable concept, and the cast at Rivertown delivers an impressive ensemble performance.

Winner of three Tony awards, including Best Musical, 1776 is a brilliant history lesson that elucidates the lengthy, rigorous and contentious convention of the Second Continental Congress.?
