Great Americans on Stage

Playwright WYN’s Great Americans on Stage shines a light on key figures in our country’s early years—its decades of ascent from revolution, disorder, and division to unbreakable union and rising economic and political power. Two of the plays in WYN’s collection center on men known to all, Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln. The third asks theatergoers to remember the once-famous Light Horse Harry, a hero of the American Revolution and the only man in the ranks to win the Congressional Medal of Honor. As enlightening as they are entertaining, the plays collected in Great Americans on Stage will delight theater lovers and inspire directors.
