On April 14, 1865, a night at the theatre changed the course of history.

The Handsomest Man in America is a new rock musical that tells the tale of actor John Wilkes Booth and his shocking assassination of President Abraham Lincoln at the end of the American Civil War.

What is the price of staying true to your beliefs? When is your integrity worth innocent lives? What does it mean to live free? These are the questions posed by this electrified retelling of one of America's greatest dramas.

Following two successful workshops in Reading, PA, the show is now undergoing further revisions in the quest to secure a professional production. So explore this site, check out the show, and stay tuned for when you can join us for another night at the theatre!
