2 Stop 2 of 9 on Spies, Lies & Dead Drops

Ford's Theatre

Penn Quarter, Washington DC

A Preview

"Ford's Theatre. Red brick. Arched windows. Looks like a perfectly nice place to see a show. On April fourteenth, eighteen sixty-five, they were performing Our American Cousin. A comedy. Abraham Lincoln loved the theater. He particularly admired one actor — a twenty-six-year-old matinee idol named John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln had seen Booth perform at this very theater."
