How Broadway's 1776 Honors Performer Brooke Simpson's Indigenous Heritage

Playbill: "Of course, when I step on that stage I'm portraying Roger Sherman, but also because of the direction and the freedom that our incredible directors have given us, I'm also one hundred percent standing there as Brooke Simpson as well. I'm portraying this founding father, but I'm also representing myself and a history of people that already had a nation here before we ever needed to create one."
