SUMMARY:Living History Series: A Debate between John Adams & Thomas Jefferson
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE” style=”classic” color=”info” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FnAe4K5hsnuNBSjFo7|title:Living%20History%20Series%3A%20John%20Adams%20and%20Thomas%20Jefferson|target:_blank”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1738859797891{margin-right: 25px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;}”] \nJohn Adams (Peyton Dixon) and Thomas Jefferson (Steven Edenbo) of the American Historical Theatre will present “We Disagree as Rational Friends”\nBitter political rivals and close personal friends: Adams (Peyton Dixon) and Jefferson (Steve Edenbo) discuss\, debate\, and sometimes decry the revolutionary storms they weathered throughout a relationship spanning 50 years. They recall their bumpy collaboration on the Declaration of Independence in 1776\, parting ways on its final content and even on the most appropriate date for commemorating American independence. They clash on Constitutional issues such as term limits\, freedom of speech\, Presidential powers\, the Tenth Amendment\, the First Amendment\, as well as the virtues & vexations of a two-party system. By means of this dialogue between their differing visions for The United States\, their contrasting views of human nature\, and their political careers that interweaved collaboration & opposition\, our 2nd and 3rd Presidents find the common ground that inspired Benjamin Rush to dub them “rival friends”. \n  \nThis is a debate\, but not one fueled by party animosity or reciprocal hatred. Rather it is fueled by a shared love of America\, seasoned with passionate\, diverging beliefs regarding how best to protect & foster the nation these two men helped to found. \n  \n“On the question\, What is the best provision? you and I differ; but we differ as rational friends\, using the free exercise of our own reason\, and mutually indulging it’s errors.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Adams: October 28\, 1813 \n  \nSaturday\, February 8th\, 2025\n11 am \nTaylor Pavilion\, 500 Ocean Ave. N\, Belmar \n  \n  \nFREE & OPEN to the public \nSeating limited\, registration required  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space hide_on_wide=”” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″ icons_position=”left”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″ icons_position=”left”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″ icons_position=”left”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1735483771741{margin-right: 25px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;}”][vc_column fix_column=”” hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” icons_position=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1735407634847{margin-right: 25px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;}”][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE” style=”classic” color=”info” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FsJ29BLufXrowrgZx7https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FnAe4K5hsnuNBSjFo7|title:Living%20History%20Series%3A%20John%20Adams%20and%20Thomas%20Jefferson|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_empty_space hide_on_wide=”” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
