Celebrating Independence Day!

Join 360 North this 4th of July as we celebrate our Independence with Jefferson & Adams: A Stage Play, written by Howard Ginsberg and based on his original play, is the story of the turbulent 52-year friendship of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Adams’ wife, Abigail. Based on the collection of letters between these prolific founding fathers – and one equally astute wife – the play fuses compelling political thoughts with passionate personal beliefs.

Jefferson & Adams traces the period from the inception of the Revolution through the politics of two presidents to the wisdom of men who have lived long lives. It is both poignant and fitting that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died in their respective homes on July 4, 1826 – the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Two chances to watch - 11 a.m. or 5 p.m!
