New England — The Independence Afterparty

Two hundred and fifty years of independence.

Somebody should probably check the paperwork.



New England — The Independence Afterparty,

a musical comedy created by Nathan Garrett

from the The Human Comedy Department.

America broke with British rule.

The inherited names, language, habits, and appetite for official ceremony proved considerably harder to evict.

And “New England” is still sitting there, wearing its name tag.

This is an invitation to laugh at the distance between our grand declarations and our very human follow-through. Political pomposity, institutional absurdity, and the confidence of people who assume nobody will ever ask the obvious question—all make excellent company for an independence afterparty.

History supplies the material.

Hindsight pulls up a chair.

For anyone who enjoys a little theater, a sharp question, and watching authority discover it isn’t exempt from the joke.
