Long before muskets fired at Lexington and Concord, the American Revolution was fought in the realm of ideas, arguments, and powerful prose. We Hold These Truths brings that battle to life through stirring readings by a quartet of professional actors, giving voice to the debates, petitions, and declarations that shaped a new nation.
Audiences will hear both Patriot and Loyalist perspectives, including:
• The Olive Branch Petition, the colonies’ final plea for peace
• King George III’s Proclamation, declaring the colonies in open rebellion
• Excerpts from Common Sense by Thomas Paine and Plain Truth, a Loyalist rebuttal
• Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death” speech
• And the timeless words of the Declaration of Independence itself
We Hold These Truths is more than a history lesson—it’s a vivid exploration of the words that forged America. Through the voices of the past, audiences will experience the tension between loyalty and liberty, the clash of radical and conservative visions, and the moral contradictions that continue to echo today.
Whether you are a student, a history enthusiast, or simply curious about the origins of American
identity, this event offers insight, inspiration, and a renewed appreciation for the power of words.
