Thursday, Friday and Saturday — 1:00, 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. Showhouse 2
In its 16th season, Cries of Freedom is the 70-minute main course but it is more than an inspiring musical. Here are some of the side dishes: The Ellis Island experience, the Second Continental Congress experience; taking home paintings and documents from our founding era; watching official military flag ceremonies and demonstrations; walking through our field of flags; visiting with our founders. With the current struggles of our country and the world you’ll find the answers with a dose of good, old-fashioned, 4th of July AMERICA!
