As Lincoln, Becker presents a first person telling of the former president’s life, interwoven with music of the time, particularly songs that were favorites of Lincoln, and what they meant to “Honest” Abe.

The presenter and pricipal actor, Becker, has taught in Chicago Public Schools for over thirty years, has been a musical performer for about the same time, and has been a Lincoln scholar for his entire life. The performance begins promptly at 2pm with a fanfare of “Hail to the Chief”, and tickets are only $3. This program is designed to be entertaining for children, adults, scholars, and the curious.
