Abe and Mary Lincoln at Library June 12 -- Honest!!

The Friends of the Jackson Public Library will host a NH Humanities Council presentation by Steven and Sharon Wood, in Telling His-Story (and Hers) as they portray Abraham and Mary Lincoln. They’ll begin by recounting his early life and end with a reading of the "Gettysburg Address." Along the way Steven comments on the debates Abraham Lincoln held with Stephen Douglas, his run for the presidency, and the Civil War. This will take place on Wednesday June 12^th, 2013 at 7:00 pm at the Jackson Public Library. Steven and Sharon combine their common interests in teaching, community theatre and story-telling into living history presentations for audiences of all ages. Steven’s surprising resemblance to Abraham Lincoln and Sharon’s background as a writer and story-teller have prompted them to research, write and perform original programs on 19^th century American history.  Steve has been portraying Abraham Lincoln at historical societies, libraries, schools, and community events since 1995. He and his wife Sharon are members of the Association of Lincoln Presenters and were recognized by the group as the Best Abraham and Mary Lincoln Team for both 2003 and 2006. Steve took second place in the Lincoln Look-Alike Contest held in Hodgenville, Kentucky in 2000.  This program is free and open to the public.
