LINCOLN & DOUGLASS: THE PRESIDENT & THE ABOLITIONIST
By Anthony D'Juan & Sean Patrick Nill

STARRING:
Rob Karma Robinson (Frederick Douglass)
Jason Kuykendall (Abraham Lincoln)
Brooklynn Solomon (Anna Murray Douglass & Ensemble)
Christopher Ryan Owens (John Hay & Ensemble)

It’s 1876. Frederick Douglass gets a formal invitation from President Grant. He’s asked to speak at the unveiling of a grand new monument honoring Abraham Lincoln, “the greatest president of these United States.” Douglass looks at the statue. Then he tells the messenger to put him down as a “Maybe.”

The two men met only a few times. Douglass wasn’t sure you could call it a friendship. In the play, his memories carry us from a tense, unscheduled meeting outside the Oval Office to a Massachusetts town hall full of agitating abolitionists. They also take us inside the fight over who gets to cast a ballot.
