[NEohioPAL] Tri-C West to open 1776 4/18/08

[Gloor, Fred]

PARMA - The theatre department of Cuyahoga Community College's Western
Campus will present 1776 April 18-27.  Performances will be on the
Western Campus Theatre's Main Stage located at 11000 Pleasant Valley Rd.
in Parma. The show opens on April 18th and runs  Friday through Sunday
the first weekend, and Wednesday through Sunday the second week.  The
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday  performances begin at 8 p.m.
The Sunday performances will be at 3 p.m.

 

 

1776 tells of the story of the days leading up to the signing of "The
Declaration of Independence".  These events include Thomas Jefferson
being convinced by John Adams and Benjamin Franklin to write the
Declaration as well as George Washington writing reports of too many
military defeats.  The quest for America's independence is almost ended
when one more vote against the Declaration will stand in the way of
freedom from Britain.  Much of the music and dialogue in 1776 is taken
from eye-witness accounts of the founding fathers.  

 

R. Scott Posey who directed last season's blockbuster production of
Peter Pan returns to direct and play the role of Rutledge.
