An All-Female Cast Presents 1776
February 20, 2017
This President’s Day, come crack the glass ceiling with Feinstein’s/54 Below as we present an all-female cast singing Sherman Edward’s seminal piece, 1776. Enjoy this contemporary take on one of Broadway’s beloved classics, performed by some of New York’s finest leading ladies. America’s birth has never felt so fresh, or so feminine. The concert will serve as a benefit for DC based non-profit Running Start, which grew out of the Women Under Forty Political Action Committee (WUFPAC), and financially supports young women running for office.
