"I got into the theatre with the mentality that, if I do a show and, say, 2000 people come to see it, if I change one person’s mind on something, then I would have succeeded. That means that 1900 of them didn’t get it. But one person did. Oh my God, what a victory that is. You know?" José Carrasquillo, 2023
In the second part of this two-part series, Zach Barr (they/them) looks at the programming and education work of Ford's Theatre, the LORT-B company founded to honor the legacy of Abraham Lincoln. But how should a politician be honored within the arts? How far from his life and times is it appropriate to stray? And why are so many people angry about statues all the time?
