by Neil Thackaberry 15 Oct '25

15 Oct '25

*A terrific match for AP and IB American History Students* *We Hold These Truths: A Revolutionary War of Words* *Thursday, October 23, 2025 – 6:30 PM* *Hudson Library & Historical Society* *A Nation Born from Words* (Hudson, OH) – In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the American republic, the Hudson Library & Historical Society will present *We Hold These Truths: A Revolutionary War of Words*, a 50-minute dramatic performance by Actors Summit Productions, on *Thursday, October 23, 2025, at 6:30 PM*. Long before muskets fired at Lexington and Concord, the American Revolution was fought in the realm of ideas, arguments, and powerful prose. *We Hold These Truths* brings that battle to life through stirring readings by a quartet of professional actors, giving voice to the debates, petitions, and declarations that shaped a new nation. Audiences will hear both Patriot and Loyalist perspectives, including: - The *Olive Branch Petition*, the colonies’ final plea for peace - *King George III’s Proclamation*, declaring the colonies in open rebellion - Excerpts from *Common Sense* by Thomas Paine and *Plain Truth*, a Loyalist rebuttal - *Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death”* speech - And the timeless words of the *Declaration of Independence* itself *Why It Matters* *We Hold These Truths* is more than a history lesson—it’s a vivid exploration of the words that forged America. Through the voices of the past, audiences will experience the tension between loyalty and liberty, the clash of radical and conservative visions, and the moral contradictions that continue to echo today. Whether you are a student, a history enthusiast, or simply curious about the origins of American identity, this event offers insight, inspiration, and a renewed appreciation for the power of words. *Event Details:* 📅 Thursday, October 23, 2025 🕡 6:30 PM 📍 Hudson Library & Historical Society, Hudson, OH 🎭 Presented by Actors Summit Productions *Admission is free and open to the public.* For more information, please contact: Hudson Library & Historical Society Hudsonlibrary.org
