Celebrate President Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday with Montalvo!

After escaping slavery in Georgia, Lemuel’s life in Gettysburg is everything he dreamed it would be – but his ideas about the North and the South, and what it means to be a free man, are challenged when he befriends Jacob, a young Confederate soldier. The two men are different races and from different sides of the Civil War, but they have much to teach each other about bravery and loyalty in ArtsPower’s exciting and suspenseful musical. Coinciding with President Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday, Fourscore and Seven Years Ago is the perfect way to introduce students to American history and the issues surrounding the Civil War.
