Cocktails and Congress

Step back in time to 1774 and take a front row seat to all the action at the First Continental Congress.

Watch the Founders debate independence in the place where it happened and enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres during the performance.

See Charles Thomson and Patrick Henry reminisce about the opening days of the Congress and learn how representatives from different colonies came together to become Americans.

Witness Patrick Henry and Joseph Galloway argue about Congress’ proposal to protest British taxes and stopping trade with the Empire and the proposed union between the colonies.

Two cocktails are included with the program. 

Produced by Historic Philadelphia, Inc. in partnership with the Carpenters’ Company, this performance offers a compelling look at how representatives from diverse colonies began to forge a new American identity.  See more information here.
