OUR LEADING LADY

by Charles Busch

directed by MICHAEL LIPP

PERFORMANCE DATES

Based on historical accounts, Our Leading Lady tells the story of Laura Keene, the British-born stage actress whose company was performing Our American Cousin at Washington, DC’s Ford’s Theatre in 1865 - the night Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth. In classic Charles Busch fashion, Our Leading Lady is a backstage comedy that takes a crucial twist, as Laura and her theatrical troupe collide with history the fateful night that would change their lives - and the history of the nation - forever.
