Our American Queen at The Flea Theater

Our American Queen delves into the real-life drama of the 1864 Presidential election, where Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase daringly challenges President Lincoln for the Republican nomination, while his daughter Kate deftly navigates her ambition and societal expectations. Despite the constraints placed upon her as a woman of her time, Kate's strategic prowess earns her the revered title of Our American Queen. Yet, as she weighs marriage proposals from wealthy suitors and grapples with her affections for one of her father's political rivals, Kate must confront the true price of power. Will she sacrifice love for ambition, or choose a path that leads to both personal fulfillment and political legacy in a nation teetering on the edge?
 

Performances for Our American Queen will be Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 7:30pm, with matinees on Saturdays at 2PM.
