About This Show

This genre-pushing play courageously re-imagines one of America’s most beloved historical icons, President Abraham Lincoln, through a queer person of color’s storytelling lens. Taffeta, a self-proclaimed “fabulous queer creation of color,” invades Honest Abe’s private world to confront issues of visibility, race and LGBTQ+ inclusion that still challenge us today.
