Our Leading Lady : : MTC

The author of the MTC hit The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, which earned a Tony nomination for Best Play, returns with a truly original play about the theatre.

Laura Keene (Kate Mulgrew), a 19th-century American stage luminary, prepares to perform at Ford’s Theatre on the fateful night when Abraham Lincoln is in the audience.

This new play captures the magic of the theatre as only Charles Busch can. Directing is MTC’s Lynne Meadow, who staged The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife.
