Not Bored in DC

THING TO DO

Catch a show in the working 19th-century theater where Lincoln was shot

at Ford's Theatre

Ford's still stages full productions, recently musicals like 1776 and Come From Away, in a house small enough that the balcony feels close to the stage. The overlap of watching American history unfold in the room where it happened is the whole point.
