Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination

[Tom Bogar]

No wonder Booth had the timing down so well. What part did he play?

That I didn't find out, but I understand that Terry Alford will reveal it (among other wonderful new material) in his forthcoming Fortune's Fool bio of Booth.

Thanks Tom. It's amazing really. I wonder if he performed in any of those with Laura Keene?

Not that I ever discovered. That would be too eerie (and certainly would have been outed before now). He did, however, perform in it in December 1859 in Richmond the same week that the Marsh Juvenile Troupe, that Jeannie and Maggie Gourlay were in, were performing at the same theater.
