NORTH MANCHESTER – The story of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will be musically presented by performers from Wabash and surrounding counties, Manchester College students and local residents in the production of “1776”. Debra Lynn, chair of the Manchester College Music Department and director of the production, said that “everyone’s favorite ‘Founding Father’ is represented in the show: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, John Hancock and even George Washington. While we don’t actually see Washington on stage, the congress listens to his actual letters read aloud from time to time.”“Don’t miss out on the excellent quality that is not easily matched by the Manchester College Music Department along with the Manchester Symphony Orchestra. It will be one of Wabash county’s finest productions this year!”, said Barbi Pyrah, president of the MSO Executive Board. Performances will be May 13 and 14 at 7 p.m. and May 15 at 3 p.m. Admission is free.
