Some came to Pennsylvania to escape persecution, some for religious freedom and some for economic opportunity. Some were already here, and some came through no choice of their own.
Beginning with the founding of the Commonwealth and William Penn’s “Holy Experiment,” Seed of a Nation unfolds onstage through several generations of five families living in what will become Lancaster County.
Watch the lives and fates of those who helped to forge a nation converge in a collision of beliefs and cultural differences as Pennsylvania and her sister colonies march inevitably toward
the American Revolution.
This breathtaking live performance spans more that 130 years, depicting the experiences of these fictional families as they intersect with significant historical figures. As it dramatizes major events in Lancaster’s history, Seed of a Nation explores the friction that results when beliefs collide and idealism is tested.
The performance focuses on the personal struggles and values of those who are part of Lancaster’s unique story. Through their stories, our history comes alive in this unparalleled theatrical event.

Witness history, live onstage, at the World Premiere of Seed of a Nation.
