Scott Bakula stars in a witty, revelatory one-man show as President Abraham Lincoln
Ford's Theatre kicks off their 2024-2025 season with the highly anticipated production of Mister Lincoln by Herbert Mitgang running September 20 to October 13, 2024.
In this witty and revelatory one-man show starring Scott Bakula (TV/Film: Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Enterprise, NCIS: New Orleans; Ford’s: Shenandoah) as President Abraham Lincoln, Mister Lincoln—as the President preferred to be called—shares stories of himself during some of our country’s most important historical events. From his own personal perspective, first as a prairie lawyer and anti-slavery advocate in Illinois, to later in Washington as president of the United States, when he signs the Emancipation Proclamation and becomes the liberator, this insightful play leans on Lincoln’s own brilliant language to reveal surprising aspects of the life of one of our nation’s greatest presidents.
