1776

 When we had Karla and Vic over for their Christmas present of a pizza dinner at our home they mentioned they were going to see 1776 on Sunday. I was able to get tickets. So after church on Sunday we went out for lunch at Lilly's on the Lake and then to this theatre in Clermont to see 1776.
 This gentleman started the show off with some patriotic songs.
 The story is based on the events surrounding the signing of the Declaration of Independence in hot humid Philadelphia. The actors didn't have to act much for the hot condition, there seemed to be little air conditioning in the theatre. I was hot is my dress, so they must have been sweating in their heavy clothing.

 Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and John Adams.


 John Adam had the main role. It is a musical and he had a great voice, as did all the performers.
 Ben Franklin getting John Adams to compromise. He played a great role.
After the show the actors were out front for us to congratulate them on a excellent show. It is the first time we have gone to this theatre and we look forward to seeing other shows they put on.
