Cabell County America 250th and Huntington Area Regional Theater proudly present 1776 — featuring the Huntington Symphony Orchestra!

🇺🇸 Two performances — Thursday, July 2 & Friday, July 3! 🇺🇸

Witness the birth of a nation as our forefathers struggle to craft 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.

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.

🎟 Tickets go on sale at keithalbee.com on Friday, May 8, at noon!

Don’t miss this powerful theatrical event celebrating America’s story.

Before playlists… before streaming… there was this.

A summer evening in Ritter Park, 1945—neighbors gathered, musicians playing, a community coming together through music.

That tradition continues.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for Home for the Holidays!

We were so grateful to see our community come together for a joyful evening of festive music and dance with the Huntington Symphony Orchestra. Your support truly brings the season to life.

A special thank-you to Segra, our presenting sponsor, and to West Virginia Department of Tourism and Marshall Health Network for their additional financial support. We are also grateful to our media sponsor, Kindred Communications — your generosity makes concerts like this possible and strengthens the cultural fabric of our region. 

Thank you to the Cabell Midland High School Collegium Musicum, led by Crista Navy, for the lovely pre-concert music in the City Hall lobby.

We couldn’t do this without you — our audiences, patrons, and community partners. We hope the sounds of the season continue to bring you joy throughout the holidays.

Stay tuned for more performances and ways to support live music in our region!
