To watch this video you will need Javascript and the latest Adobe Flash Player
1776. Philadelphia is as hot as a furnace. There is a heated debate around revolutionary ideas – independence and democracy. Congress is divided as egos and agendas collide, and finding common ground is tough. Witness John Adams, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson join forces to unite the original 13 colonies through the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This Tony Award-winning musical breathes life and song into the story of how we took our first steps to become a nation.
Watch a video of WCCO-TV's Bill Hudson interviewing 1776's Peter Michael Goetz.
In Conversation
Join director John Miller-Stephany and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Joseph Ellis In Conversation as they discuss the events and characters that shaped the events leading to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Monday, August 6 at 7:30 p.m.
