The Tabard Theatre Company announces auditions for a revolutionary approach to the Tony-award-winning musical about the signing of the Declaration of Independence

The Show
1776 will be The Tabard Theatre Company's sixth production of its 8-show 13th season. Directed by Tabard associate artistic director Diane Milo, the production will run January 24–February 16, 2014, at Theatre on San Pedro Square, 29 N. San Pedro Street, San Jose, CA 95110. Rehearsals begin November 2013.
The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the people behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation. In 1969 the show won Tony Awards for Best Musical and Best Director of a Musical. This production will take this revolutionary story to a new level by having all roles played by women in contemporary dress.

Wonderland

You'll recognize some of your favorite familiar characters of Alice's Wonderland along with meeting dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, star-struck tourists, plastic light-saber wielding knights and much more.
