Performances From Scott Denny, the cast and crew and itinerary of the '99-'00 1776 national tour. Here you can read some information collected by Stephanie Fine about the recent revival of 1776. About a year ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. John Stefano, who is the chairman of the Department of Theatre and Dance at Otterbein College near Columbus. Dr. Stefano is an accomplished actor and theatrical director, and played Adams in the college's 1997 production of 1776. Please read the thoughts of another Adams.
