A riotous adaptation of one of the most revered moments in the history of the United States of America hits the HFAC Garza Main Stage

Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone’s Tony Award-winning musical about the birth of the United States of America is coming to the Houston Family Arts Center’s Garza Mainstage, July 24th through August 16th.

“1776 is a brilliantly written show that brings history to life with humor and drama,” says director Liz Buras. “Our production digs into how difficult it was to bring 13 very different colonies together—independence was not inevitability. The show will surprise you with unique moments and fresh perspectives, as well as the humor and humanity of our Founding Fathers.”

A humorous and musical retelling of America’s struggle for independence, 1776 dramatizes the days leading up to the creation and signing of one of America’s greatest documents, The Declaration of Independence. John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, lead the charge to convince members of the second Continental Congress to break away from the British Crown, and vote for independence.

Leading the second Continental Congress are Liz Buras (director), Michael Montgomery (executive producer), Elizabeth Wilson (musical director), Brittany Halen (choreographer), Lisa Garza (scenic design), Amber Stepanik (costume design), Ron Putterman (lighting design), and David Dean (sound design).

Members of the second Continental Congress include: Taylor Fisher (John Adams), Sean Thompson (Benjamin Franklin), Justin Finch (Thomas Jefferson), Taylor Fischer (Richard Henry Lee), Zachary Salcich (Edward Rutledge), Patrick Barton (John Dickinson), Paul Wilkinson (John Hancock), Brandon Hobratschk (Charles Thomson), Jennifer Stewart (Abigail Adams), Laura Renfroe (Martha Jefferson)).

Performances of 1776 are Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 3 p.m., July 24th through August 16th on the HFAC Garza Mainstage. Tickets are on sale now and may be purchased online at www.houstonfac.com, or by phone at (281) 587–6100. Special pricing is available for groups of 10 or more.Performance Location: Houston Family Arts Center Garza Mainstage 10760 Grant Road, Houston, TX 77070

Cicadas are fairly large insects but can vary in size with some growing over 1 ½ inches. Color may also vary depending upon species, but many are brown or green. All cicadas have bulging eyes and, on adults, wings that are held roof-like over the body. The wings are semi-transparent with thick wing veins. The majority of their life cycle is spent underground.

Cicadas have 2-5 year life cycles and appear in Texas in mid to late summer. Females insert egg clusters into branches of trees using their saw-like ovipositor (egg laying structure). Eggs hatch after about 6 weeks and small nymphs drop to the ground where they burrow into the soil. Nymphs feed on sap of tree roots with their piercing-sucking mouthparts. After becoming fully developed, nymphs emerge from the ground at night and climb onto nearby objects such as tree trunk, plants, fences, etc. Adult cicadas emerge from the last nymphal stage leaving behind the exuviae (cast skin). Adults can live 5-6 weeks.

Male cicadas are well known for their “song”. They rest on a tree and produce a whining sound to attract females. The sound is produced by two vibrating membranes on the side of the abdomen. Females do not “sing”. Adults feed on juices from tender twigs, but usually do not cause lasting harm to the plant from feeding.

For more information or help with identification, contact Wizzie Brown, Texas AgriLife Extension Service Program Specialist at 512.854.9600. Check out my blog at www.urban-ipm.blogspot.com
