Polling the Delegates – Part Eight: Meet MRS. Adams!

“Why, Abby? You must tell me what it is!”

Between tending to the farm and four measles-ridden children, Abigail certainly has her hands full… yet, somehow she still found the time to answer our Q&A. Forget what you’ve seen in the movies- Mrs. Adams is the real Wonder Woman here!



Tell us about yourself. We have precious little information…”
I was born and raised in Bensalem, Pennsylvania but I currently reside in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. I have a bachelor’s degree in Music Education from The College of New Jersey. I am blessed to have the support of a loving husband and two beautiful little girls.

How familiar were you with 1776 before joining this cast?
I’m sorry to say that I was not familiar with the show at all before joining this cast. I am now a big fan of the show and I have a huge appreciation for the concept of doing it with an all female cast. I am humbled and honored to be a part of this production.

How much (or little) do you know about your colony/state?
My knowledge is mostly based on sports rivalries. As a Yankees/Giants/Devils fan by marriage, Massachusetts has only been known to me as the home of the despicable Red Sox/Patriots/Bruins.

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?
I’m a big fan of pumpkin pie… but that’s about it.
