Tragedy and hilarity ensue backstage at Ford's Theatre when all of Laura Keene's carefully laid plans to have the president attend her triumphant performance in Our American Cousin are spoiled by a fellow actorchanging history. Our Leading Lady is an affectionate depiction of theatre folk in all their self-absorption, as well as a portrait of a strong, ambitious woman in 19th century America. You are certain to enjoy this off-kilter look at the familiar story of a moment where American history and American theatre crossed paths.
