In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we present an original play about the lives of the Lee family of Stratford Hall, centered around the life of the oldest sister, Hannah.

​

In “Hannah Lee Corbin, Widow,” Hannah tells the story of how five of her brothers played a central role in the Declaration of Independence and the founding of our country.

 

The story lays out the difficulties of the eighteenth century. The fastest communication was on horseback. It took six to eight weeks to cross the Atlantic. Women had almost no legal rights. Most fine goods had to be purchased and imported from Europe. Worst of all, the “father” country treated the colonists like second-class citizens.

​

You owe it to yourself to see how, with wisdom but at great risk, this Westmoreland County family helped fashion how you live today.
