"Lincoln's Last Debate: Two Embattled Presidents Meet"

Sparks fly when Abraham Lincoln visits the Obama White House. There’s sharp, lively debate, hilarious repartee, a-ha moments, and surprising revelations. 

“Lincoln’s Last Debate” is a play grounded in careful historical research by an actor and playwright, Gene Griessman, PhD.,  who has won the Ben Franklin Award, which recognizes excellence in independent publishing.

Set in a the oval office shortly before the end of President Obama’s first term, the audience listens in on arguments that likely plagued President Obama in his decision to run for a second term. When the lights dim you will know it’s time for the ghost of President Lincoln to appear and advise the worried Obama.

The old adage; history repeats itself, unfolds for the next 2 hours as the fatherly figure parallels his career with our current President. Even separated by 150 years, the two discuss early defeats, time in the Illinois legislature, time in Congress and public opinions. Further uncanny similarities continue with their talents, abilities, temperaments, policies, perceptions and setbacks.

Dr. Griessman is widely known as an author and for his training films and presentations. As an actor and playwright, he has performed at Ford’s Theater, before 25,000 people at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, at the Lincoln Memorial and aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

Julius Pryor, III plays the role of President Obama. A noted author, speaker and consultant, Mr. Pryor has worked with major universities, corporations, military and government agencies. He has written extensively on challenges of working and succeeding in the Twenty-first century and is a graduate of Atlanta's Morehouse College.
