Damn, screen got all blurry. I had the chance , just after 9/11 to participate in a production of “1776”. I had the great and awesome luck to portray Benjamin Franklin. I credit that performance as one of the great privileges of my life. All the primary actors took the time to read stories or biographies of the characters they portrayed. When it came time to do the voting on independence scene I believe none of us were “acting”, the emotions seen on stage were real and palpable. The scenes in this excerpts punched me in the gut in much the same way that playing Franklin did. Lord, I hope we’re not too late to save our country.
