Songs from TCW will be presented, along with several other things, at the Open House at the theatre on February 16th.

The cast for this production has been announced. Michael Lanning is back as the Northern Captain. Jarrod Emick is in it (I'm pretty sure he's our Southern Captain, but haven't gotten that completely confirmed yet). Hal Holbrook's voice will be heard, pre-recorded, as Abraham Lincoln.

There's also a brief interview posted with director Jeff Calhoun, at the Ford's Theatre site.
