It's the luck of the loner, you know. A museum in the basement is part of the regular free tour. Tours were not currently operating because of the imminent performance but I was allowed in with my ticket to the play. The museum does a nice job of presenting the story of Lincoln in the capital though in naturally focuses on the events of April 14, 1865. Artifacts on display include the pistol with which Booth fired the shot that killed the President. I've included a couple of pictures of the theater taken from my seat. Of course, none were allowed during the performance. I'd not previously seen Driving Miss Daisy, not even the movie, and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Since I'd gone almost immediately to the museum and theater when I arrived, I had taken no exterior shots so I grabbed one as I left. I later realized that, while I carefully included the name above the entrance, the theater itself is out of frame to the right. |
