During this 45-minute live performance students learn about the life of one of America’s most infamous and complex personalities, as well as gain a better understanding of America during the mid 1800s.

What was John Wilkes Booth’s childhood like? What drove this well-known actor to kill the president? What happened on the manhunt?

These questions and many more are answered as students hear the story from several different viewpoints. Q and A and time to self-tour the museum galleries will occur afterwards.

This performance was developed by one of the actors themselves, so this is also a unique opportunity for students to learn first-hand about the play writing process.
