Mary Todd Lincoln, married to Old Abe, is a fascinating historical
figure. Cole Escola has developed a one-act theater experience that is
a hit in New York where it will run through January 19th.
The premise is that the temperamental Mary is an alcoholic, aspiring cabaret performer married
to a gay President who has many things on his mind.
Cole got to play First Narcissist Mary
Mary's temperament was quite notorious----me, not knowing a thing about the theater comedy---
turned her into a Block-of-the-Month quilt design for 2024.
The play much funnier than the BOM.
But here are a few finished projects.
