Philip Freneau

Philip Freneau: Poet of the American Revolution is a fascinating adventure that leads us through ‘The Rising Glory of America’.  Born in New York and living most of his life in Freehold, New Jersey, Philip Freneau graduates from Princeton with his friend and roommate James Madison, and it was there that Freneau found his voice for poetry. Relevant for our times, this lively and engaging performance reveals the great challenges facing both our Founding fathers and the men and women supporting this new land.  Freneau’s great passion and commitment to liberty, takes him on journey from being captured by the British, boldly giving his voice as editor of The National Gazette, and finding his way back to his deep love of nature and poetry.
