The Lyceum
Historic Alexandria invites the community to experience a special 1776 Sing-Along and Panel Discussion on Saturday, July 25, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Alexandria History Museum at The Lyceum, 201 S. Washington Street.
Presented in partnership with Emerging Revolutionary War and American Battlefield Trust, this lively evening features a sing-along screening and discussion of the groundbreaking 1972 musical "1776."
Written by a history teacher, and later inspiring the hit musical "Hamilton," 1776 offers a memorable look at the personalities, politics, and debates surrounding the nation's founding, while reflecting the era in which it was created.
Tickets are $10. Advance ticket purchase is encouraged online in the Historic Alexandria Shop. Snacks and beverages, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, will be available for purchase during the event. To allow time for discussion, portions of the film will be fast-forwarded. Participants are encouraged to watch the full movie before attending.
