Ford’s Theatre

As a living tribute to Abraham Lincoln's love of the performing arts, Ford's Theatre produces musicals and plays that embody family values, underscore multiculturalism, and illuminate the eclectic character of American life. Ford's Theatre places a high priority on developing, nurturing and producing new American musicals and is one of only a few resident theatres able to provide a national showcase for such large-scale productions. Ford's second priority focuses on "American originals" -- plays about influential and cherished Americans whose lives and works have enriched the cultural fabric of our nation.
