>From the director...

"'1776' is the brainchild of a high school history teacher/pop songwriter who wanted to bring our nation's founding to life in a way history books simply can't. Our approach to the piece seeks to fulfill it's creators desire to an overwhelming degree.  

Our unique production will give spectators and actors a chance to see themselves in the story of our nation's founding in a whole new way.  This production will immerse all who are a part of it in the drama, danger and excitement of a revolution.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I'm so very excited to offer it to Northeast Ohio's theatre community."

Theatre Company Info: 

Home: for the Arts is a community arts initiative of First Grace United Church of Christ. In our effort to engage our community in meaningful artistic experiences, we will not discriminate against any actor or audience member on the basis of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, mental/physical disability, gender identity, marital status, religious or socio-economic background. 

Currently, H4A consists of a professional director, a core team of professional actors, and a dedicated group of passionate volunteers who believe that a performance should be a life event, not just a live event. 

Having presented performances by companies such as Queen Bee Productions, the New World Performance Laboratory and singer/songwriter Shawn Thomas, H4A produced it's first 'in-house' production (the critically acclaimed 'Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol") this past December. 

We are committed to excellent acting, excellent writing, and excellent storytelling. We do not offer a subscription season, blow big cash on big advertising, or try to knock you out with elaborate techno wizardry. We work largely by word-of-mouth. We take our time. We let it simmer. We cook it up with love. Welcome 'Home'.
