Exciting news about Independent Shakespeare Co.'s 2010 Salon Series:
This Sunday, February 28 ISC begins a series of rarely produced plays, which includes one evening in honor patron of the arts and 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.
From the ISC newsletter:
"On the night President Lincoln was assassinated, he was enjoying one of his favorite pastimes: a night at the theater. Lurking in the shadows was John Wilkes Boothe. He waited for the audience's biggest laugh, pulled the trigger, and changed history. On February 28, ISC presents a reading of the play Lincoln was watching the night he died, alongside letters Lincoln wrote to a young actor. In them, he discusses his admiration for the works of Shakespeare and his thoughts on the importance of theater."
