A little more than 165 years ago in February of 1860, Abe Lincoln gave his famously electrifying Cooper Union speech. Everyone wanted to hear what this tall, gawky, brilliant lawyer from Illinois had to say about the country in crisis. In my story a little immigrant girl is shining shoes on the street outside the hall dressed as a boy. She shines Lincoln’s shoes and he invites her into the hall so he can have at least one friendly face in the big city crowd. And then….
As I kept spinning out the story I became aware that this was more than historical fiction to me. I started to weave my own story into the story of Lincoln and the Little Girl, and I’m really excited to perform the piece for you.
