Join Michael Langlois for an engaging presentation exploring the story of America's founding through two iconic musicals, 1776 and Hamilton.

Through discussion and video clips from both productions, Langlois will examine how these landmark shows present strikingly different visions of the nation's founding, reflecting the values, challenges, and questions of the eras in which they were created.

Combining history, music, and cultural analysis, this program offers a fascinating look at how Broadway has shaped our understanding of the American Revolution and the people who lived it.

This event is part of Past, Present, and Pages, a program initiative developed by the Trumbull Library in celebration of America's 250. These programs explore history, literature, music, art, and community stories, highlighting the people, ideas, and events that connect the past to the present. Join us this summer as we explore our town, our country, and the stories that bring our community together.
