Our American Cousin is an 1858 three-act play by English playwright Tom Taylor. The play is a farce whose plot is based on the introduction of an awkward, boorish, but honest American, Asa Trenchard, to his aristocratic English relatives when he goes to England to claim the family estate. . . . Although the play achieved great renown during its first few years and remained very popular throughout the second half of the 19th century, it is best remembered as the play U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was attending in Ford's Theatre when he was assassinated by actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. - Summary by Wikipedia Cast Narrator: KHand Asa Trenchard: Joseph Tabler Florence Trenchard: Beth Thomas Lord Dundreary: Rob Board Sir Edward Trenchard: Zames Curran Mr. Coyle: Peter Tucker Mary Meredith: Kristin Gjerløw Mr. Binny: ToddHW Abel Murcott: Scott Bennett Mrs. Mountchessington: Bev J Stevens Georgina Mountchessington: Michele Eaton Augusta Mountchessington: Maria Kasper Mr. Buddicombe: Howard Watts Harry Vernon: TenorBoy John Wickens: VfkaBT Captain De Boots: David Olson Sharpe: Mary Kay Skillet: Jessie Yun Edited by: Rob Board Proof-listened by Jessie Yun and Beth Thomas.
