Directed by David Halliwell with musical direction by Andrew Gadwah, 1776 brings audiences back to the pivotal summer of 1776 when America's founders debated, negotiated, and ultimately united to declare independence from Great Britain. Featuring music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and a book by Peter Stone, this beloved musical follows John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson as they work to secure support for the Declaration of Independence. Known for its sharp wit, compelling drama, and memorable score, 1776 offers an entertaining and insightful look at one of the most important moments in American history. Performances take place outdoors under the stars at the Richter Arts Center, 100 Aunt Hack Road in Danbury . Audiences can enjoy a live orchestra and a talented cast of local performers in one of Connecticut's most unique summer theater settings. 🎭 Performances are Friday through Sunday evenings at 8 p.m., with specially discounted performances on Thursdays, July 9 and July 16. Grounds open at 7 p.m. for picnicking before the show. Whether you're celebrating Independence Day, CT250, or simply love great theater, 1776 is a perfect summer night out. 🎟️ For tickets and complete information, visit musicalsatrichter.org.

Stamford, CT: The Health Wellness & Lifestyle Expo has grown from a regional health fair into Connecticut’s largest and premier health, wellness, and lifestyle event. Now celebrating its 15th year in 2026, the Expo has become a highly anticipated annual tradition that brings together thousands of attendees, businesses, healthcare providers, fitness professionals, community organizations, and families along Stamford’s Harbor Point waterfront, the Expo’s location since 2019. A cornerstone of the Expo’s success has been its longstanding partnership with Stamford Health, which has served as the event’s Exclusive Healthcare Partner for 15 consecutive years . Throughout the Expo’s history, Stamford Health has been a driving force both behind the scenes and in partaking in the event’s activities, providing free health screenings, educational programming, wellness resources, preventative care information, and direct access to medical professionals, reinforcing its commitment to improving the health and well-being of the communities it serves. Founded and managed by Tamara Ketler of TMK Event Marketing, LLC, the Expo originally launched as the Health Wellness & Sports Expo . The event evolved over the years to reflect the changing interests and needs of consumers, expanding beyond healthcare and fitness to include nutrition, healthy living, beauty, financial wellness, mental health, pet wellness, eco-conscious products, home and garden inspiration, and family-focused activities. “We are proud to be the exclusive healthcare sponsor of the annual Health, Wellness & Lifestyle Expo for the fifteenth consecutive year, " says Kathleen Silard, President & CEO of Stamford Health, “For more than a decade, this event has created meaningful opportunities to share valuable resources and showcase our comprehensive programs and services. We look forward to connecting with our community and continuing to support the health and well-being of those we serve.” Over the years, the Expo has expanded to feature more than 130 sponsors and exhibitors, 10 interactive wellness zones, free group fitness classes, health screenings, yoga, healthy food experiences, pet wellness attractions, children's activities, Touch-A-Truck experiences, Stamford First Responder participation, and educational demonstrations and instruction such as CPR training. It has become one of the region’s most successful platforms for connecting businesses and organizations directly with a health-conscious audience. The event continues to fulfill its mission of encouraging attendees to GO. GATHER. GROW , bringing the community together to discover new ways to improve mind, body, and spirit while supporting local businesses, healthcare organizations, and wellness innovators. Today, the Health Wellness & Lifestyle Expo stands as one of Connecticut’s most respected community events, and its enduring partnership with their Exclusive Healthcare Partner Stamford Health, as well as numerous other sponsors and community supporters such as ShopRite/Cingari Family Markets, Key Bank, and so many others, remains central to its success, helping educate, inspire, and empower thousands of residents each year. 15th Annual Health Wellness & Lifestyle Expo 2026 September 12, Saturday, 10 AM - 5 PM Harbor Point Boardwalk, Stamford, CT https://www.hwl-expos.com
