States of Independence
States of Independence" is an original musical with book, lyrics and direction by Tina Landau and music by Ricky Ian Gordon. History and fantasy collide in this story of a contemporary college student who travels from her 21st century world of political detachment into the heat of the American Revolution. Meeting an array of vibrant, and mostly forgotten heroes, the student discovers what it means to live in the world with personal conviction and political passion.
"States" has had previous development at The Prince Music Theatre, the Sundance Institute and Wright State University. Honorary producer for "States" is The Shen Family Foundation.
