New Assassination Play Premiers at Ford's Theatre - BettyO - 05-24-2014 03:15 PM

A new play related to the assassination is premiering at Ford's Theatre. It concerns the perspective of the assassination from the viewpoints of both Harry Hawk and Harry Ford - sounds interesting!

This actually isn't something new. One Destiny has been offered for about 3-4 years now in between other performances that are booked into evening shows at Ford's. It's very popular, I understand, with school groups who tour D.C. and need something to fill the evenings when other tourist attractions might be closed.

I think it might even be offered online for classroom use, and I'm pretty sure that they once offered the script to teachers for adaptation to their classroom studies.
