Starlight’s 1776 Traveling Broadway Show Collaborative

Presented By
Lindsey Rood-Clifford

Starlight Theatre President and CEO Lindsey Rood-Clifford moderates a discussion about the importance of broadening historical narratives to include experiences from traditionally marginalized groups. Members of the current cast of the Tony Award-winning musical 1776 are featured panelists. 

An all-new take on 1776, which premiered on Broadway in 1969, runs from July 25-30 at Starlight and includes a cast of all female, transgender or non-binary actors. The musical tells the story of John Adams as he works to persuade the founding fathers to sign the Declaration of Independence.  

Panelists also discuss the 1776 mural on display at the Plaza Branch through July 30.
