Keeping Mr. Lincoln

In this ensemble tour de force, actors—regardless of their own age, gender, or ethnicity—take turns playing Abraham Lincoln and important people in his Kentucky childhood, Indiana youth, and Illinois and D.C. adulthood. The play celebrates Lincoln's life through his own words and those of people who knew him. Lincoln prods and inspires us to embrace our unlimited potential, face up to our challenges, and shoulder our responsibilities. What drove him? What inspired him? What fed and supported his remarkable journey? Though we can never fully know the answers to those questions, we "keep" Mr. Lincoln by continuing to explore them. This play is dedicated to doing just that. 

This show is produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.

Keeping Mr. Lincoln is a drama by Sandra Fenichel Asher and is being produced for the Lincoln Amphitheatre by 1816 Theatrics.
