Washington Turns the Tide in New Jersey!

Join the cause! sign our petition!

This petition calls on the State of New Jersey to designate The Crossing: A Revolutionary New Musical as its Official State Musical. The work is a sweeping new American musical that reimagines George Washington’s Crossing of the Delaware, illuminating the diverse and often overlooked voices of the Continental Army through a deeply human and emotionally resonant lens.

As a tribute to a defining moment that unfolded on New Jersey soil, the petition argues it is a fitting cultural emblem of the state’s historic legacy and enduring spirit.

 The Crossing:

A Revolutionary New MUsical

The Crossing was born from the belief that history isn’t something we leave behind—it’s something we continually step into with courage, clarity, and heart.

As our nation marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, our goal is to premiere The Crossing at the historic Patriots Theatre in Trenton, New Jersey, in December 2026—just miles from where Washington led his troops toward a new chapter in human liberty.

To bring this epic new musical to life, we invite partners who believe in purposeful art, living history, and the power of storytelling to inspire a new generation. Your support will help carry this production from vision to stage and into a landmark premiere worthy of this anniversary.
