The first Continental Congress as a musical? Yes! Believe it or not, "1776" is a surprisingly intelligent and stirring portrayal of the historic events that July, starring my friend Kyle Andrews as John Adams (pictured). It runs for the next three weekends at the Cailloux Theatre in Kerrville. Showtime on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday is 7:30 pm, and Sunday shows start at 2:00 pm. The show on Saturday, July 4 starts at 5:00 pm. Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for children 14 and under. Be aware that there is some “coarse” language, slavery is addressed, and it's not an action-packed romp filled with dance numbers and special effects--so it may not be the ideal show for young ones. And it's a long show....about 2 1/2 hours.
We thoroughly enjoyed the show. In addition to a great venue, strong performances were turned in by Jeff Cunningham (Benjamin Franklin), Max Smith (Thomas Jefferson), Jeffrey Brown (Edward Rutledge), and Kyle.Come celebrate our nation's birth with a show in Kerrville!
