Abe Lincoln In Illinois Now Playing at the Intiman Theatre at Seattle Center A House Divided Cannot Stand.
Before he was our 16th President; before the iconic beard; before the Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation or the Gettysburg Address, he was simply Abe. He grew up with this country, felt its pain and its promise, though he nearly refused to participate in it. This epic story spans the years of Lincoln’s early manhood, when he forged his conscience, and fought his destiny. Each decision, every path chosen, would alter the fate of our great nation. Sherwood’s glimpse into Lincoln’s tragic first love, his fear of his own ambition and a hunger for life beyond his cabin add to the critical stakes unfolding before an ordinary — destined to become legendary — man.

Pop, gospel, jazz, and soft rock come together in a politically inspired comedic romp featuring a motley crew of loyal, obsessive and downright peculiar personalities, striving to get their candidate into the White House.

Lecture - Worldchanging.com's Alex Steffen
11/12 7:30PM
Great Hall at Town Hall Seattle
This fall presents a rare opportunity to see Worldchanging.com's Alex Steffen in person at Town Hall Seattle on Nov. 11 and 12. As a world expert on bright green futurism, Alex spends much of his time traveling and speaking with leading businesses and governments from Norway to New Zealand; he rarely speaks at home in Seattle. But for two nights this November, he'll take the stage at Town Hall and share the latest thinking about how we here in the Emerald City can confront our planetary boundaries and how Seattle citizens can become leading innovators in a sustainable economy. Don't miss this one-time opportunity to explore some of the most important trends shaping our lives, with one of the most sought-after green futurists working today. Alex will share Worldchanging's latest thoughts about the planetary challenges we face and his cutting edge ideas about bright green solutions, sustainability and urban innovation. And after the talks, you'll also get a chance to meet other Worldchangers, make connections and share ideas. Seattle's Bright Green Moment November 12 - Alex Steffen, introduced by Mike McGinn Cities are the engines of a bright green economy. A new urban way of life is emerging that is not only ecologically frugal, but wealthier, healthier, and more enjoyable. At the same time, smart cities are becoming the hothouses of sustainable innovation, growing the designs, technologies, policies, and start up companies that will thrive in the new global economy. Learn how leading urban regions like London, Copenhagen, Melbourne and Seoul are scrambling to rebuild themselves on bright green lines in order to lead in the economy of tomorrow. Join the conversation on how we can use cutting edge practices such as innovation networks, metropolitan coalitions, and government 2.0 to break through the logjams blocking our region's progress to build a more vital, sustainable and prosperous home. Both talks will be in the Great Hall at Town Hall Seattle (townhallseattle.org), and start 7:30 p.m. (doors at 7:00 p.m.). Each talk is 90 minutes, no intermission.
