Polling the Delegates – Part One: Meet Mr. Adams!

After a long weekend, full Congress returns to session (read: rehearsals) tonight! Audio and video from the rehearsal hall will soon follow… but in the meantime, let’s meet the delegates, shall we?

Starting things off, may we humbly introduce our very own John Adams… Juliana Valente!


“Tell us about yourself. We have precious little information…”
Full-time actor, singer, composer, director, teacher, student, and mom. Three kids, five fish, a dog, and a cat. Podcast, Netflix, HBO, and YouTube junkie. Otherwise I’m probably doing laundry.

How familiar were you with 1776 before joining this cast?
Saw it for the first time when I was an 11-year-old history buff and budding storyteller. I was so passionate about the musical, that I knew then and there that I *needed* to pursue musical theater. Being John Adams in 1776 has been a personal goal of mine since then!

How much (or little) do you know about your colony/state?
Learning more every day. I’m originally from Texas, so I didn’t get a lot of Massachusetts state history growing up.

As your colony’s stance on the question of Independency is well known… let us instead pose another, highly divisive question: Pumpkin Spice- Yea or nay?
PSL all day.
