Epilogue

Commissioned in part with funds provided by The La MaMa New Plays Commissioning Program;In honor of President's Week, The CLub and The Teeny Tiny Theater present Lincoln by Hapi Phace (aka Mark Rizzo) and Brian Butterick, a goofy, poetry-play multi-media performance based on the queer personalities of the sixteenth president and the first lady. The Civil War with a circus feeling: Hapi has cast himself as Mary Todd Lincoln; Jennifer Miller (a real bearded lady and champion juggler) plays Honest Abe; Hattie Hathaway plays rebel spy Mary Serrault. Special guest star Ruby Lynn Reynor plays John Wilkes Booth. Guest choreographer is Mark Dendy."

Supporting elements include performances by members of the underground Black Lips Performance Cult and music by the ensemble as the Springfield Hillbilly Orchestra.
Hapi Phace is the founder of the Teeny Tiny Theater, which makes its debut performance in Lincoln.
