"1776"
Circle Theatre 325 Academy St, Barnwell, South Carolina 29812
Circle Theatre of Barnwell presents the musical "1776," telling the story of a groundbreaking moment in American history. Events come blazing to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. "1776" puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the men behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and, ultimately, noble figures determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation. This Tony Award-winning show is full of memorable tunes penned by Peter Stone and Sherman Edwards. From "Sit Down John" to the heart-wrenching "Momma Look Sharp," you'll be captivated from the start and blown away with the powerful song "Molasses to Run."
Production dates are May 6, 7,13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m., with matinees May 8, 15 and 22 at 3 p.m.
