An Audience with Abraham Lincoln

Wed 3 Jun Greenwich Theatre

With anecdotes both heart-warming and heart-rending, Abraham Lincoln relates his life story, from his early hardscrabble childhood through his eventual marriage, family, and the successful law and legislative careers that vaulted him into the presidency. Along the way, hear speeches such as Lincoln's Lecture on Law, the House Divided speech, or the Second Inaugural Address, along with the show's finale, The Gettysburg Address in a seventy-five-minute show that is entertaining, educational, humorous, and poignant. An Evening with Abraham Lincoln will leave you with a new sense of the humor, compassion, and statesmanship of the sixteenth president of the United States.

The Hermitage provided this testimonial: The Hermitage was honored to host Jacob Truax for An Evening with Abraham Lincoln, and his performance was nothing short of exceptional. Jacob's portrayal was both engaging and historically accurate, bringing the 16th President to life in a way that captivated our audience from start to finish. His command of Lincoln's voice, mannerisms, and storytelling created an immersive experience that was educational, moving, and memorable. Audience members left with not only a deeper appreciation for Abraham Lincoln's life and leadership but also a sense of connection to history that few performances can achieve.
