"This worked on so many levels for me. At one point I looked over at a whole crew of high school kids and during the death of Lincoln, they were weeping, including the boys. I think this is a very good thing for America to have young people see something like this."
--Robert Aubrey Davis, WETA-TV, Washington, DC
"This show is very honest, direct about the
overarching issues of the war. It should become a show in residence for
Ford's Theater.”
—Joe Barber, PBS, Washington, DC

About the writers.
The 26 songs in Reunion—all from the Civil War or earlier—tell the human stories of the struggle within the North for the soul of the war.
All have new arrangements by musical supervisor Michael O'Flaherty. Many of the songs are rarely heard and will be new to most ears. Those that are more familiar have been given unique treatments. And a couple of songs written in the South are included, because they were as popular in the North as they were in the South.
