The Story of Mary Todd Lincoln: “Pass My Imperfections Lightly By”

Nov 8, 2025 - Nov 9, 2025

A one-woman play by Vaughn McBride 

Mary Todd Lincoln was in many ways our country’s first First Lady, a woman who insisted her voice be heard. Her awareness of the political pulse of the country was instrumental in the election of her husband as president. Her ego-driven idea of what the leader of a nation should be changed the White House into a figurehead residence fit for a president. She was an emancipated woman long before that notion was acceptable.

Following the horrors of her husband’s death and her own confinement to a mental institution, she became remembered as a shrew. But that is far too narrow a picture of such a complex personality.

Join us as this exasperating, loving, flirtatious and unpredictable woman is relived powerfully on stage.
