"LINCOLN
... a masterful retelling of the Lincoln saga."
- Muncie Star Press.
One
life that forever changed the world.
Many of
the stories you’ve heard about young Abraham Lincoln happened
here in Indiana ... working to clear the virgin forest, studying by
firelight, mourning the tragic death of his mother.
For, you see, it was here he grew up. From the time he
was seven until he was 21, Abraham lived and learned in what is
now Lincoln City, Indiana.
Lincoln’s remarkable character, forged on the Indiana frontier,
is the heart of a new play in the magnificent 1,500-seat, roofed
Lincoln Amphitheatre. Hear President Lincoln’s own words as he
struggles to preserve the Union. Your heart will ache as the
slave choir’s pure voice soars to the heavens.
LINCOLN will make you think.
