Join us for a discussion about American musicals dealing with the founding of our nation. Through a mix of commentary and video clips, performer and lecturer Michael Langlois will guide us in examining how these revolutionary musicals interpret the ideals of liberty, equality, and legacy. Whether you're a history buff, a theatre lover, or both, this is a unique opportunity to reflect on the evolving narrative of America’s founding.
Michael Langlois is a performer, lecturer, and storyteller with decades of experience on stage and off. He has lectured from Connecticut to California on topics ranging from acting and directing, to using one’s passions to bridge divides and engage with others.
This is a free adult program and no registration required.
