SADERUP
Actor Gary Saderup becomes Abraham
Lincoln, as he encapsulates Lincoln's
entire life, from his early "folksy" frontier
humor to the eloquence of word so well
remembered from his Presidential years.
He reveals how Lincoln formed his attitude
towards life and politics, slavery and war,
peace and reconciliation.
This acclaimed one-man show takes us
from Lincoln's years as a prairie lawyer, to
the steps leading up to the Civil War and
throughout the war years.
Gary Saderup shows us why Lincoln is the
president still revered most by a majority
of Americans today.
We see and hear his Lincoln-Douglas
debates; his Emancipation Proclamation;
his Gettysburg Address, as well as events
in his personal life with Mary Todd and his
courageous determination to preserve the
Union.
Gary Saderup is magnificent as Lincoln
and delivers a memorable performance
that brings Lincoln back to life in a way like
never before.
This unique program features a dramatic
interplay of Civil War era photos, music
and graphics to accompany Saderup's
unforgettable on-screen portrayal of
Lincoln.

received for 50 years.

Athens is still one of the liveliest cities in
Europe, an ancient city which has stayed
young.
At an early stage the Athenians adopted a
questioning attitude toward life and began
to develop new ideas.
Thus, about 2,500 years ago, in this city
there emerged the idea of democracy,
which has exerted a decisive influence on
modern history.
In this cultural environment, literary forms
