Such an interesting concept that was well acted, as well as well written and researched. Nonstop laughs, and I also learned a few new things about Abraham Lincoln!... full review
RYAN CARBREY certified reviewer June 15, 2019
With an already clever concept, there's so much more under the surface. It's easy to rebuke modern politics and long for a different time, Lincoln 2020 turns that longing on its ear. It doesn't question the quality of our hero figures or saviors and instead the reliance on them or the belief that they're the answer.... full review

A must see show! Lincoln 2020 is face-paced, witty and wildly funny. Well-written, skillfully directed and showcasing a very talented ensemble. The show asks some important questions while keeping you laughing out loud from start to finish. Ten out of ten. Go see this play! ... full review

While this play is astutely and often raucously funny, it is also surprisingly deep. Yes, I might be particularly vulnerable because I’ll be forever traumatized by the 2016 election results, but I found moment in the play ... haunting. The performances are uniformly terrific, the direction smart and resourceful, and the writing negotiates a complexly absurdist plot with grace and wit — and brings a multitude of well- articulated characters to life. ... full review

Holiday Kinard's new work is hysterical and timely. Using just enough absurdism to talk about our political system, Lincoln2020 was so on point, fun. I left talking about it, about the state of the world, and that's what good theatre does.... full review

This play was clever, fun, relevant and extremely creative! My friends and I had the best time watching it.. time flew by. It raised important social and political issues, included some unexpected twists/turns (shout-out to Eric Delgado, who was on point!) and poked fun at serious matters in the most effective way. It 100% deserves to be extended, and I truly hope it is. I’m seeing the shows are selling out now.. and for good reason!... full review
