Intermission


Denis Johnston Prize for Scriptwriting, Smith College
​Regional Finalist, Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival
The conversation is fictional; the characters and circumstances are not. True story: On the night Abraham Lincoln attended a play at Ford’s Theater, his regular bodyguard was replaced with a D.C. cop who had been previously reprimanded for drinking on the job. During intermission, the guard wandered from his post to a barroom next door — The Star Saloon. It just so happens that at the very same time, in the very same saloon, sat a man working up the courage to assassinate the president.
