Events and Presentations featuring Michael Krebs and Debra Ann Miller as President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln in Dramatic works based on the Presidential life story for educational programs and general events. With Lincoln Productions We are proud to offer our portrayal of the nation’s most famous President, Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. Our approach is to strip away the myth to reveal the inner strength of his will and the charm of his character. Lincoln was famous for his sense of humor and use of sarcasm. From the vast richness of his life, he could speak pointedly of personal, professional, and political issues. Rumors of a disastrous family life, his own bouts of melancholy, and stories of his wife’s instability are paramount to Lincoln’s intrigue. Thousands of books and papers have been written about this remarkable man who was as much a poet as he was a politician. School Assembly and Special Event Programs

	Conspiracy? Lincoln Assassination April 14, 1865, Actor John Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. Days later, Wilkes died in a standoff, and eventually, eight Southern sympathizers were tried for conspiracy. This much we know to be true. But many conspiracy theories arose--pointing to the Confederacy, the Union, and even the Catholic Church! Once again, new theories have sprung up, based on recently found documents and forensic technology. Historian Edward Steers Jr. connects Booth to the Confederate Secret Service in Montreal, which indirectly links him to Jefferson Davis and the Confederate government. Historians, biographers, and researchers counter their arguments here. To purchase the DVD, link here
