By Richard Hellesen
Directed by Mark Ramont
March 26-May 18, 2013
June 11-July 6, 2013
Learn about Lincoln’s assassination from two men who were there. Actor Harry Hawk and Ford’s Theatre co-owner Harry Ford revisit the events of April 14, 1865. As they reconstruct the sequence of events, they grapple with the question: Could John Wilkes Booth have been stopped? This 35-minute presentation explores the key facts of the assassination while capturing the emotions of that fateful night. Featuring costumed actors. In June 2012, the cast of One Destiny celebrated their 500th performance at Ford’s Theatre. The production also has been featured in local schools and at the White House.
In the spring, One Destiny is offered six days a week (with exceptions). When booking tickets, you may choose a ticket that includes entry into the museum.
