The RPI Players invite you to attend their 274th show and the final
production of
their 81st season, 1776. During an unbearably hot and seemingly endless
summer in
Philadelphia, the Second Continental Congress stumbles their way through
arguments,
political alliances and bouts of homesickness toward the completion of a
Declaration
of Independence that almost wasn't signed. This Tony Award-winning
musical comedy
about a rag-tag group of men and their journey in birthing a new nation
is sure to provoke
laughter, sympathy and moral ambiguity.

The RPI Players is a student-run community theater. While RPI students
are the primary
participants in the organization, auditions and production roles are open 
to all community
members.
