Surflight Theatre’s fifth main stage musical of the summer will be “1776,” an obvious choice considering the U.S. is celebrating its 250th birthday.

It will run from Aug. 18 through Aug. 30. Visit the theater’s website at surflight.org to find the exact dates and times and purchase tickets or call 609-492-9477 or visit the box office in Beach Haven. Tickets are $46 for adults and $36 for children 12 years and younger.
