In Richard Hellesen’s one-act play One Destiny, comedic actor Harry Hawk and co-owner of Ford’s Theatre Harry Ford grapple with whether they could have changed the course of history. Could John Wilkes Booth have been stopped? Revisit April 14, 1865, and the events surrounding the tragic assassination of Abraham Lincoln through the eyes of the men who were there when history happened.

This one-act play is offered during the day at Ford's Theatre in the fall and spring.

This production is appropriate for ages 8 and up.
