SUMMARY:Give Me Liberty: Virginia & the Forging of a Nation
DESCRIPTION:Give Me Liberty: Virginia & the Forging of a Nation\n\n\n\n📅July 1\, 2026 – January 31\, 2027🕞9 AM – 5 PM📍American Revolution Museum at Yorktown \n\n\n\nGive Me Liberty: Virginia & the Forging of a Nation marks the 250th anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence\, is your opportunity to view in person two copies of the Declaration of Independence – one early July 1776 broadside printing and then an 1833 engrossed printing from an engraved plate of W.J. Stone. Both are part of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation collection.The exhibit is presented by the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission and produced in partnership with the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation and the Virginia Museum of History & Culture\, and explores Virginia’s leading role in the American Revolution.  Through civic stories and accomplishments of the people who helped shape a new nation the tales of what led up to the Revolution through the eyes of the Revolution generation is considered.  \n\n\n\n“We really wanted to explore not only the meaning of freedom and the history of this moment but the ongoing experiment; the idea of forming a more perfect union\,” explained Christy S. Coleman\, executive director of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. There is the story that first began in 1773 as written conversations between 13 colonies\, who had never really dealt with each other before\, they were essentially separate enterprises of government\, but they came together to discuss their concerns and grievances with King and Parliament\, and that is included” in this exhibit. \n\n\n\nThere were three things the organizing Committee wanted to convey in this exhibit\, curator Harvey Bakari\, Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation’s curator of Black History and Culture relayed. First\, was to recognize the community: everyone that was affected by the Declaration of Independence. Second\, they wanted the Exhibit to be relevant to today’s audience and third\, they wanted it to be engaging\, to have some activities and then a call to action. For example\, what can you do as a citizen today with the legacy of the seeds of Liberty? \n\n\n\nThis exhibit also explores the forging of a nation\, not having a blueprint\, and realizing that the nation would not be a finished product but would take centuries to forge\, not just a result of revolution. For example they did not have a standing army or a government\, all of this had to be formed during and after the Revolution. \n\n\n\nThen there is the contested American narrative – as it was being created there were two races: the enslaved and free African Americans and the Indigenous Nations who were mostly excluded from the narrative. But their subsequent generations would also rewrite the history of the Revolution. “The audience might come in and think the exhibit is trying to be modern\, they’re trying to be inclusive\,” Bakari challenged.  But instead what “we’re trying to do is to give you a chance 250 years out\, to see the American Revolution through the eyes of the founding fathers and the people from the American Revolution generation. What did George Washington see? Black soldiers\, Indigenous allies\, and our French allies fighting against the British. The eyes of Billy Flora\, a free black hero of the Battle of Great Bridge. He was also here at the siege of Yorktown. What did he see versus contested histories written by\, in many cases\, people who were not part of the American Revolution generation. We try to give you the viewpoints of that generation: the Revolutionary generation. Not the narrative\, not the filler but to give you a chance to see what they saw here in Virginia.” \n\n\n\nTravis Henline\, the Curator of Indigenous History and Culture stressed that Revolutions do not happen in a vacuum and that there were decades that preceded the American Revolution where these grievances and ideas formed. He pointed out that it was “a time where people had to make hard choices\, while some may have wanted to remain neutral at the onset of this conflict\, as it proceeded very few had the opportunity to do so. People began to realize that rights were not a spectator sport\, and this touched everyone.” Henline explained that “this Revolution faced all people and we tried to be as inclusive as possible to bring those stories forward.” \n\n\n\nSarah Meschutt\, Senior Curator\, American Revolution Museum at Yorktown compared and contrasted the different printed copies of the Declaration of Independence in the exhibit and their uses. The exhibit has an early broadside like the ones printed on July 4 & 5 of 1776 by John Dunlap\, the official printer to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. These were intended for broad quick distribution\, posted in public squares and read to the troops. The exhibit also has a  large signed copy you will see in the center of this exhibit which was commissioned and completed 50 years later when the original parchment document was aging. \n\n\n\n“The whole point of the Declaration was to engage the people in the idea behind democracy\, a government for the people. So the Declaration had to be circulated and the way it was disseminated in the 18th century was through print culture. These Dunlap copies were circulated to the Army and read to them by George Washington and other generals\, then the horseman would carry it to the other colonies.” Broadsides tucked in saddle bags spread the ideas of revolution across the colonies. \n\n\n\nThe American Revolutionary Museum at Yorktown has a very early printed broadside copy in the main gallery. It was printed in Boston on July 18th of 1776 which is less than two weeks after the first July 4th printing. When the British took control of Philadelphia the printing went to Baltimore where a woman printer\, Mary Catherine Goddard printed the first with signatures printed on the image. “Those were distributed for ratification by the Colonial Governments\, the States\,” explained Meschutt. Having seen all the signatures of the Goddard prints it was ratified and subsequent copies were produced.  \n\n\n\nThis now brings us to the large glass encased Declaration of Independence that you will see in the center of this Exhibit. Meschutt highlights that “it was most important because it was engraved in 1823 on a large copper plate where the signatures could be reproduced exactly.” It would take William Stone\, the engraver\, three years to produce it. It was produced 50 years to the date of the July 4th Declaration of Independence. John Quincy Adams and a committee of Congress were worried about the original as the parchment Declaration of Independence was  deteriorating.  \n\n\n\nThe Exhibit through graphic displays\, artifacts and multimedia components takes the time to give the audience insight into the different races\, genders and nationalities of the people of the Revolutionary generation.  These are histories that may be unknown to visitors but are a documented part of our shared history.  \n\n\n\nThe Exhibit has seed paper at the end of the exhibition\, as a way to ensure visitors think about the way that revolutionary challenge continues today. The museum invites visitors to take seed paper and write their commitment to Liberty as we move forward as a county. Visitors can then plant it and watch it grow.The exhibition is included with general admission to the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. Residents of James City County\, York County\, and the City of Williamsburg–including William & Mary students–receive complimentary admission with proof of residency\, and parking is free.For more information\, see here.

SUMMARY:Fresh Views of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Fresh Views of the American Revolution\n\n\n\n American Revolution Museum at Yorktown thru  September 7\, 2026 \n\n\n\nPart of Admission (local residence get free admission – see here) \n\n\n\nIn honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution\, the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown will present the special exhibition “Fresh Views of the American Revolution” from October 18\, 2025 through September 7\, 2026. This commemorative exhibit explores America’s 250th through contemporary voices and artistic perspectives. \n\n\n\nVisitors will experience new ways of looking at the ideals and legacies of the Revolution. On view are more than a dozen original paintings by folk artist Oscar de Mejo—created for the 1976 Bicentennial and now part of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation collection—including “The Declaration of Independence\, 1776.” The exhibition will also highlight community art programs inspired by de Mejo’s work. \n\n\n\nAs John Adams reflected in 1818\, the Revolution was not only a political or military triumph but also a “radical change in the principles\, opinions\, sentiments and affection of the people.” This ongoing “living revolution” of ideas remains at the heart of Fresh Views\, encouraging audiences to consider how those principles continue to evolve today. \n\n\n\nLeading up to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration in 2026\, the museum will showcase its Bicentennial-era artworks alongside new\, responsive pieces created through contemporary artists\, community members\, and school collaborations. By placing historic and modern perspectives side by side\, the exhibition invites reflection on enduring themes of liberty\, freedom\, equality\, and revolutionary change—allowing each visitor to draw their own meaning from the American Revolution’s unfinished story.

Performances: October 30 to November 15\, 2026 \n\n\n\nSynopsis: An amateur theater company proudly presents a classic 1920s murder mystery\, but from the moment the curtain rises\, the production is beset by an endless string of mishaps. As forgotten lines\, misplaced props\, missed cues\, and unexpected interruptions threaten to derail the performance\, the determined cast presses on with increasingly hilarious results. Packed with brilliant physical comedy\, impeccable timing\, and nonstop laughs\, The Play That Goes Wrong is a theatrical comedy where thebiggest mystery isn’t whodunit—it’s whether the show will make it to the final curtain. \n\n\n\nCharacter List: \n\n\n\nCHRIS – Male 30-50\, plays Inspector Carter – The head of the theatre company and Director of the play\, this is the biggest day of his life\, it is a nerve wracking and exciting night. He tries his best to keep the show on track while gritting his teeth at the ineptness which surrounds him. Every time someone laughs\, he becomes more frustrated at both his fellow actors and the audience. He hasequal amounts of contempt for his fellow actors and the audience watching the play. English Accent.

This ever-optimistic ‘best friend’character is embroiled in a leadership rivalry with Chris\, yet blissfully unaware of the chaos around him. He does not feel badly when things go wrong and never learns from his mistakes. Robert’s naivety amidst ambition makes for a compelling\, multifaceted portrayal. English Accent. Physically Demanding RoleNote: The actor cast in this role will need to be comfortable performing on a seven-foot-high platformwith no railing. \n\n\n\nMAX – Male\, 25-40\, plays Cecil Haversham & Arthur the Gardener – He has never been on stage before; has learned his lines and does exactly what he’s told to do\, unfortunately he has zeroconnection with any of the other actors. But when he gets a laugh\, he breaks the 4th wall and engages with the audience; his mistakes are fundamental and filled with unintentional humor. Hedoes not think anything through\, just looks for approval. English Accent and Cockney. Physically Demanding Role. \n\n\n\nDENNIS – Male\, 40-60\, plays Perkins the Butler – New to the stage\, he struggles with lines andpronunciation\, and audience laughter often feels like a spotlight on his mistakes. He has no real desire to be involved in the theatre; he just wants to make friends. Laughter from the audience isagony for him; he has difficulty pronouncing big words and must write a cheat sheet on his sleeve/arm. English Accent. Physically Demanding Role. Note: The actor cast in this role will need to be comfortable performing on a seven-foot-high platformwith no railing. \n\n\n\nTREVOR – Male\, 25-60\, Lighting & Sound Operator – Wants to get on with the show; curmudgeonly and doesn’t care for actors; he is easily distracted\, occasionally missing cues or forgetting to turn his mic off. He does many things he should not\, including engaging with the audience when things go sideways. Comfortable behind the scenes\, he is suddenly required to act\,briefly taking on the role of Florence. American dialect. Note: The actor cast in this role will need to be comfortable being in an enclosed box for up to 10 minutes. \n\n\n\nJONATHAN – Male\, 25-35\, plays Charles Haversham – He is cast as a corpse but has trouble playing dead and does have some lines as the play progresses. He is a bad actor but sees himself asa very cool a ‘James Bond’ type. He is excited to be in the show and is having fun. Tasked with driving the narrative\, he approaches his role with enthusiasm but feels the weight of each mistakedeeply. English Accent. Physically Demanding Role.Note: The actor cast in this role must be comfortable performing on a seven-foot-high platform with no railing. \n\n\n\nSANDRA – Female\, 25-35\, plays Florence Colleymoore – She is a diva and the company’s leading lady\, with ambitions to go to Hollywood and will hurt anyone standing in the way of what shewants. But she is smart enough to stay on the good side of someone who can help her (like the director). Will appear in less than full costume dressed in underwear in a comical way. EnglishAccent. Physically Demanding Role.Note: The actor cast in this role will need to be comfortable being in an enclosed box for up to 10 minutes. \n\n\n\nANNIE – Female 25-40\, the company’s Stage Manager – Initially working tirelessly behind the scenes to solve problems\, she has the biggest journey of any of the characters. She is unexpectedlycast into the spotlight as Florence\, starting with a book in hand and initially terrified. Annie soon discovers a newfound comfort and love for acting – a passion so strong she’s determined to fight for her place on stage. She starts small but grows and grows. Physically Demanding Role. American Dialect \n\n\n\nSTAGE CREW – play the Cornley Drama Society Stage Crew – (Any gender\, 18+ years old) ⎼ They are the backbone of this important show to the director. They believe in Annie\, their StageManager\, and will do anything for her as well as jump in should Trevor demand action. They will be working throughout the show to fix problems\, recover items\, save face\, and hopefully save the show. There will be many times they are “part of the show” and will be seen. They will also be assisting the REAL Stage Manager.
