Pig Iron Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Franklin’s Key, a thrilling adventure where science and magic collide. During the War of Independence, the British feared that Benjamin Franklin could control the weather. But what if that were true? In an alternate universe where Franklin’s most powerful inventions have been hidden for centuries, two high school prodigies must race against time to protect the undiscovered technology from shadowy forces.

Set amid iconic Philadelphia landmarks, Franklin’s Key blends the city’s rich history with larger-than-life characters, sharply choreographed movement, and breathtaking stage illusions to create a pulse-pounding, brainy delight for adventurous theatergoers young and old.
