Who Played Judge Bowling Green in Abe Lincoln in Illinois

Judge Bowling Green is a role in Abe Lincoln in Illinois, a play that opened Broadway in 1993.

Written by Robert E. Sherwood in 1938, Abe Lincoln in Illinois covers the life of Lincoln from his childhood through his final speech in Illinois before he left for Washington. His time spent as a backwoodsman, failed shopkeep and hard-luck senatorial candidate are all detailed, along with his romance with Mary Todd and his debates with Stephen A. Douglas. Lincoln's own words are used often, and Sherwood received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1939 for this show.
