At the Liberty:"Hamilton"

DAYTON — The musical “Hamilton” is a Tony, Grammy, Emmy, and Pulitzer Prize-winning hit on stage and in the cinema. The movie version combines the best elements of live theater and film with a blend of music from hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway.

The story of one of America’s founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton, was a revolutionary moment in theater. It tells the story of America then, told by America now. The cast includes writer and director Lin-Manuel Miranda, Daveed Diggs, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Anthony Ramos, Phillipa Soo, Leslie Odom Jr., and Ariana DeBose.

The movie “Hamilton” was rated 98% by Rotten Tomatoes critics, and the audience came in at 99%. Rated: PG-13 for language and suggestive material and a runtime of 180 minutes. There will be an intermission.

Announcing our 2025 Fall Production, “A Christmas Carol.” The Liberty Theater production is based on the works of Charles Dickens and O. Henry. “A Christmas Carol” will be performed from Nov. 13 to Dec. 6, 2025.

“A Christmas Carol” combines the beloved story of the same title published by Charles Dickens in 1843, and the well-known short story, “The Gift of the Magi,” published by O. Henry in 1905. Woven together, these two beautiful stories become one tale, in which the hard-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge must choose between a self-imposed hell and a redeeming, selfless love. The strength of charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence is the focus of this reimagined stage play, written by Mike Ferrians and Brenda Henderson, who have also collaborated on new music and lyrics to help bring the story to life.

Produced by Touchet Valley Arts Council Productions and directed by Mike Ferrians and Brenda Henderson. Tickets will be sold online at libertytheater.org, at the Box Office on Tuesdays and Fridays between 2 and 5 p.m., or by phone at (509) 382-1380.
