1776 at the Princess Theatre
“1776”
America’s Prize Winning Musical
Music and Lyrics by SHERMAN EDWARDS
Book by PETER STONE
Based on a concept by SHERMAN EDWARDS
Original Production Directed by PETER HUNT
Originally Produced on the Broadway Stage by STUART OSTROW
It’s the Summer of 1776 and the nation is ready to declare independence… if only our founding fathers can agree to do it! 1776 follows John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia as they attempt to convince the members of the Second Continental Congress to vote for independence from the shackles of the British monarchy by signing the Declaration of Independence.
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 men 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.
1776

A Year with Frog and Toad Kids
This weekend, the 1st–5th graders of the Princess Spotlight Academy are ready to charm you in this production directed by Amy Milne.
Based on Arnold Lobel’s beloved books, this show features a jazzy, upbeat score that bubbles with melody. Part vaudeville and part make-believe, it follows two great friends–the cheerful, popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad–through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. Throughout the year, two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special.
Doors Open an Hour before performance.

Art Gala – Oaxaca Period at the Princess Theatre
Prosser’s Nelson Gallery hosts “Their Oaxaca Period” in the Green Room from April 7-June 2026, featuring works by William and Eleanor Nelson produced between 1957 and 1959 in Oaxaca, Mexico. The paintings they produced are notable for rich, vibrant colors and, in many cases, heavy, palette-knife texturing. The couple avoided stereotypical depictions of life in Mexico, preferring to capture what they observed in the streets, farms, foothills and work-a-day faces of the residents of rural, southern Mexico at that time.
This showing is both an homage to the earlier roots of the Nelsons’ half-century journey through the world of art, but is a reminder that the United States and Mexico have coexisted in harmony and mutual benefit for a very long time, despite various bumps along the way.
While most of these pieces were created in the vicinity of Oaxaca, several from other locales – painted in and around that same period – have also been included. In addition, their son, gallery owner James Nelson, will display one of his own works with a similar tropical tone: a quasi-abstract floral tryptic.
All paintings on display are available for purchase, with 25% of each sale remaining with the Princess Theatre to benefit the organization’s projects and programs.
