Yours Forever, Lincoln

YOURS FOREVER, LINCOLN, an original chamber opera created and composed by Quarry Theatre company members, will world premiere on October 21st 2022, at the Voxel Theatre in Baltimore. YOURS FOREVER, LINCOLN is created from original text, letters and original poetry from Lincoln himself, additional poetry from the 1800s, and historical first-person accounts, to explore the same-sex relationships of Abraham Lincoln. The intimate male relationships of Abraham Lincoln have been under the scholar’s microscope for decades with many proposing the idea that these relationships went beyond basic friendships. YOURS FOREVER, LINCOLN will spark discussions around the history of sexuality, American revisionist history, and the importance of LGBTQAI+ visibility.
