In Abraham Lincoln’s Big, Gay Dance Party, a fourth-grade Christmas pageant in Abraham Lincoln’s rural Illinois hometown sets off a firestorm of controversy when it calls into question Abraham Lincoln’s sexuality. A thought-provoking, laugh-out-loud funny, and uniquely American story unfolds, offering surprises at every turn. Each of the play’s three acts lets the audience see the story through a different character’s viewpoint – and at each performance the audience decides in which order the acts are performed, creating a Rubik’s-like theatrical event. Finally, a truly democratic theatergoing experience! What could be more American than that?
