Don’t miss out this Wednesday-Friday!

Join us FEB 12-14 @ 7pm ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S BIG GAY DANCE PARTY by Aaron Loeb Illinois schoolteacher Harmony Green has told her fourth grade class that Menard County's most beloved homegrown hero, Abraham Lincoln, was gay. When Honest Abe is "outed" in a reimagined Christmas pageant, controversy and chaos engulf the town. As the trial of the century begins, big-city reporters and Congressional candidates descend, and family skeletons are forced out of the closet. Top hats and beards abound in this hilarious, poignant, and timely look at prejudice past and present.
