SUMMARY:Songs of Liberty
DESCRIPTION:A 25-minute live performance explores how music carried revolutionary ideas through taverns\, homes\, and meetinghouses across New England—often faster and with greater impact than the written word. A cast of musicians\, joined by a Massachusetts Minuteman storyteller\, will perform songs from the Revolutionary era with a contemporary folk-rock twist\, highlighting enduring themes of liberty\, resistance\, and unity. The Songs of Liberty is produced in partnership with ClockJack Productions.

SUMMARY:Voices of a Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Visitors will step into a rural Massachusetts community and meet six Revolutionary-era residents—a printer\, housemaid\, lawyer\, shopkeeper\, tavern keeper\, and farmer’s wife—each navigating the growing conflict in their own way. To make the experience even more immersive\, guests will have an opportunity to learn about a specific person and build their own character\, allowing them to move through the Village as active participants in the unfolding story and decide whether it is in their best interest to fight for independence or remain loyal to The British Crown. Voices of a Revolution is produced in partnership with ClockJack Productions.

SUMMARY:Writing a Revolution: The Letters of John & Abigail Adams 1773-1776
DESCRIPTION:From the “destruction of the tea” to the Declaration of Independence\, witness the founding of a nation through the eyes of one of colonial America’s most iconic couples. John Adams will take part as a delegate in the First and Second Continental Congresses in Philadelphia\, while his wife\, Abigail\, remains in Massachusetts as the American Revolution begins. Their correspondence allows a window into the conflicts\, the struggles of the people\, the tedious nature of the Congress\, and a loving marriage. \nThis July\, we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of our nation. The letters of John and Abigail Adams reflect their lived experiences through this tumultuous time\, and allow us to witness history in the making. \nThis live theatrical performance provides an intimate setting geared toward adults and older children.
