Free Staged Reading: MR. LINCOLN GOES EAST By Ellen Abrams and Kevin Baker

Urban Stages has developed into a bigger and more diverse organization since our beginnings in 1984 under the direction of founding and current Artistic Director, Frances Hill. We began as a producing organization dedicated to developing and producing new plays relevant to the multi-cultural nature of our contemporary world. Today, we continue that commitment while establishing an extensive Outreach Program found through the New York Public Library and school system throughout the five boroughs. Our Outreach Program offers often underserved communities free, professional quality theatre and Arts in Education opportunities. Please contact Lori Ann Laster, Program Director for more information. In 2001, Urban Stages acquired a charming theatre at 259 West 30th Street with 75 seats, two rehearsal rooms, workshop, and storage facilities. Our theatre space is extremely versatile, with the ability to play as an intimate black box and is easily transformed with occasionally elaborate multi-level sets. We are thrilled to report that the majority of our patrons rave about our comfortable our seating is and our exceptional sightlines. Urban Stages recently completed the third year of Urban Stages Summer Theatre Camp Program (ages 11 to 14).

Urban Stages

A debate about race and freedom that still resonates in America today.

<h1>MR. LINCOLN GOES EAST </h1><h2>By Ellen Abrams and Kevin Baker</h2><h2>Directed by CB Murray</h2>

<h3>February, 1860.  Abraham Lincoln has come to New York City and given the speech of his life. Later that evening, he meets three people who will challenge the way he looks at slavery and the coming conflict—an African American man and woman working on the Underground Railroad and a teenaged boy eager to go to war.  Their debate about race and freedom still resonates in America today.</h3>
