GLORIA'S CAUSE

Iconic and not-so-iconic moments of the Revolutionary War come to life in strange ways in Gloria's Cause, a documentary-infused rock musical directed by Dayna Hanson with longtime collaborators Dave Proscia, Peggy Piacenza and Paul Matthew Moore. Loaded with dance and influenced by punk and Schoolhouse Rock, Gloria's Cause uses modern, personal stories to revise our collective American tale. Gloria's Cause will premiere in early 2011.
