Was hooked from the beginning. Such a cool idea to give the point of view that works perfectly to a theatrical show. A very timely piece where the country feels divided again to bring this piece of theater to life. Great way of creating a fresh and tension filled piece of theater of a well known piece of history.... full review

Walking into the McCadden's space last night, I could tell I was going to be in for a treat! When writers with a passion for history and storytelling meet up with a group of dynamic, dramatic actors PLUS a most formidable director with a knack for staging, get ready for a most impactful fringe show!! The stage was beautifully decorated, the costumes were spot on, the lighting was hypnotic and the sounds were impactful and perfect! If you are looking for a show that is purely inventive, makes you think, and showcases some of the best of fringe, I cannot recommend Our American Tragedy enough!!... full review

A well written, well researched, who-dunnit on one of histories most dramatic moments. A superbly executed ensemble piece, with each character doing a great job at highlighting the dichotomies of thought that have divided America. Each actor had a clear standout moment, but also worked so seamlessly as a group. In 45 minutes I was transported back in time, and faced with an America that didn’t look all too different from today, sans the brilliant costuming and characterizations that clearly placed this in 1865. The show asks us to examine how we’ve changed as a country since the pivotal moment of Lincoln’s assassination, and in what ways we haven’t. ... full review
