A SEVENTH STREET PLAYHOUSE STAGED READING OF
LINCOLN AND GOD
by Anthony E. Gallo
IN THE SOUTH OPERA TIER LOUNGE
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2011 at 4 PM

This two-act drama examines our sixteenth President’s conflict with men and God through defeats, triumphs, and tragedies during the Civil War. Did he hear God in the dialogue, actions, and words of wife Mary, the Reverend Phineas Gurley, friends, colleagues, and enemies? Abraham Lincoln is the only American President who did not claim church membership. What was his relationship with God all about -?-Was he an American Moses-?-or an American Herod? Remain for lively discussion afterward.
