The Night Before Gettysburg

June 30, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Playwright Chuck Johnson of Perham, Minnesota, brings President Abraham Lincoln’s thoughts to life with “The Night Before Gettysburg,” a short, three-act play, that provides the audience with a peek into the 16th president’s state of mind as he put the finishing touches on his immortal “Gettysburg Address.”

Two performances of the play take place each day, June 30, July 1, July 2 and July 3. Show times are 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., commemorating the 159th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Performances are staged at the Gettysburg Presbyterian Church, appropriately chosen due to its connection to Lincoln who attended a rally there following his address recitation.  A period pew rests inside the sanctuary in the approximate location where Lincoln sat.
