The Beckwith Theatre Company Presents 1776 (Musical). book by Peter Stone, Music and Lyrics by Sherman Edwards, Based on a concept by Sherman Edwards.
The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the men behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures, determined to do the right thing for a fledging nation.
As part of Chautauqua-Wawasee’s annual Patriotic Speaker Series, the 2026 program will feature the second president of the United States, John Adams.
