Abraham Lincoln's Big Gay Dance Party

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

The play is told in three acts, but they can be performed in any order. The order in which we see the acts can change the way we interpret the events and the way we understand the story in its entirety.

In one order, the play is a murder mystery. In another order, the play is about redemption and forgiveness. In a third, it's about betrayal.
