October 3, 2024(1 event) Mister Lincoln Audio-Described Performance – Audio-Described Performance. We offer scheduled audio-described performances for all of our mainstage productions. To request an audio-describer for a different performance, please contact access@fords.org at least two weeks prior to your visit. In this witty and revelatory one-man show starring Scott Bakula as President Abraham Lincoln, “Mister Lincoln” shares stories of himself during some of our country’s most important historical events.
