Lincoln & Stowe to grace opera house |
Abraham Lincoln should feel right at home in the Pemberville Opera House.
At least, that is the Abraham Lincoln who along with Harriet Beecher Stowe will come to visit the opera house in the persons of actors Michael and Jacqueline Hurwitz.
The Columbus-area couple will present "An Evening with Legends" Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the opera house. Tickets are $10.
Michael Hurwitz is writer as well as a thespian. His latest book, "Backstage with Booth" is on Edmund Spangler, a stagehand who was working the night Lincoln was assassinated.
His current project is on historic opera houses in Ohio, including the Pemberville Opera House.
The Hurwitzes visited the opera house last year, and at that time Jacqueline Hurwitz commented that it would the right stage to bring Stowe and Lincoln to life. "It's a wonderful mixing of atmosphere and character," she said.
