The Columbiana Arts Theater to present 1776 - The Musical
COLUMBIANA -- The Columbiana Arts Theater will present 1776 - The Musical Nov. 12 through 15 at the historic theater located at 5 N. Main St. in downtown.
Directed by Mark Frost, this Tony Award-winning musical transports audiences to Philadelphia in the summer of 1776, where America's Founding Fathers face one of the most consequential decisions in history: whether to declare independence from Great Britain. Featuring iconic historical figures including John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, 1776 takes audiences behind the scenes of the Continental Congress as delegates debate, disagree, compromise, and ultimately shape the future of a new nation.
As the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, The Columbiana Arts Theater invites the community to experience a musical that captures the spirit of the nation's founding.
