One Destiny: A One-Act Play at Ford's Theatre
Learn about President Lincoln’s assassination from two men who were there! Actor Harry Hawk and Ford’s Theatre co-owner Harry Ford revisit the events of April 14, 1865. As they reconstruct the sequence of events, they grapple with the question: Could John Wilkes Booth have been stopped?
This 40-minute performance explores the key facts of the assassination while capturing the emotions of that fateful night. The production also has been featured in local schools and at the White House.
In-person performances of One Destiny are offered Tuesdays-Saturdays as part of historic site entries at 10:30a and 11:30a.
