1776 the Movie
September 19, 2010; 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Enjoy popcorn and a movie on us as we treat you to the delightful Broadway musical 1776. The story centers around the familiar historical characters as they organize a movement for independence from Mother England: the tough unyielding John Adams (William Daniels); the charming and pragmatic Benjamin Franklin (Howard Da Silva); the brilliant young Thomas Jefferson (Ken Howard), who is chosen to write the Declaration of Independence even as he longs for the company of his new bride Martha (Blythe Danner); and the rest of the continental congress. All events lead up to that most significant date July 4th, 1776 when the Declaration was signed. (taken from the back of the movie) MPAA PG rated. John Adams Unbound has been organized by the Boston Public Library and the American Library Association Public Programs Office. This traveling exhibition has been made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: great ideas brought to life.
