3 SUMMERS OF LINCOLN, a world-premiere musical with an epic original score blending gospel, R&B, powerhouse anthems and Broadway, begins February 18.

Dive into the inspirational story of one of the most important friendships in our nation’s history — Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

Summer, 1862. President Abraham Lincoln must find a way to end the Civil War. Enter powerful abolitionist Frederick Douglass. If he can meet Lincoln face to face, he can help the president cement a vision of the future that ends slavery along with the war — all while preserving the Union. Just three meetings took place between the two men — pivotal conversations between two brilliant leaders that shaped the course of history.
