In honor of the America 250 Celebration in Edwardsville, the Wildey Theatre's weekly film presentation for Tuesday, June 30, will be the musical movie "1776."

Portions of the lyrics and dialogue were taken from letters and memoirs of the Founding Fathers and others involved in that momentous event.
