Introduction

We are going back in time 138 years. Imagine that it is Good Friday, April 14, 1865. Tonight is the night John Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln in the Ford Theatre in Washington, D.C. Please rise for the National Anthem and remain standing for the Pledge of Allegiance.

(The President enters and stands behind his podium and seal. After the Anthem, he leads the Pledge of Allegiance.)

Keynote Address

President Lincoln begins with his young life and continues through the war years. He recounts the pleasures, heartaches, failures and accomplishments of his entire life in detail. He accompanies these with dozens of fascinating facts and anecdotes of that period of United States History.

Checking his time piece when the address is complete, he excuses himself and leaves for the theatre.
