Celebrate the birth of the USA at Vintage Theatre on July 4th weekend

There’s no better weekend to tell a story about America finding its voice than Independence Day weekend itself. Celebrate July 4th weekend with Broadside the Musical at Vintage Theatre as this small Denver-based theatre troupe prepares to head to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. Before the fireworks fade, step into Revolutionary Boston, where taverns buzz, broadsides fly, and a nation argues itself into existence.
Broadside is a messy breakup story set to music: Britain and America, once in harmony, fall out of sync in a war of words before the first musket is fired. In pre-Revolutionary Boston, broadsides were everywhere, sharp and fast, working like the first social memes, shaping public opinion overnight in taverns, streets, and meeting halls across the colonies.
