The Fall and Rise of Ford's Theatre (And Now, They Sing)

My first two-part video essay looks at the long, complicated, and often political history of Ford’s Theatre, in Washington D.C. – it’s long journey from the space where Lincoln was shot, to it’s current incarnation as a regional LORT-B company. But how did that transition occur? And what are the artistic implications of staging “Topdog/Underdog” there? More, including an exclusive interview, in the video.
