Lincoln Adjacent: Three Plays NOT About Abraham Lincoln

Powerful and compelling interconnected stories with a stunning cast. The wild eyed but humanized John Wilkes Booth and the crumbling Mary Todd Lincoln will not soon be forgotten. Excellent and inventive stage direction. The playwrights bring to life these characters and the time.... full review

Powerful. Evocative. Moving. As if peering from behind a closet door we glimpse inside the lives of those close to Abraham Lincoln and what it may have been like to stand alongside him, or fall into his shadow.

An excellent show, from top to bottom. The theater had great energy and the crew involved were extremely professional and welcoming. Ok... onto the show, the writing was exceptional, the actors were phenomenal. Every detail was perfect, I am very honored to have been able to see it considering it was sold out. Props to everyone involved!!... full review
