Fondly Do We Hope--Fervently Do We Pray...
Continuing this tradition of challenging, thought provoking work, Mr. Jones is creating a new evening-length work about Abraham Lincoln Fondly Do We Hope--Fervently Do We Pray... Commissioned by the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Illinois, Fondly Do We Hope--Fervently Do We Pray... will find Mr. Jones "leading with his own heart," seeking a way to articulate if not reconcile the view of Lincoln he had as a young boy growing up during the civil rights struggle and as a mid-life liberal artist who "has very few heroes." The most ambitious project in the Company's 25 year history, Fondly Do We Hope--Fervently Do We Pray... will investigate the myriad meanings of Lincoln, rejecting accepted truth in favor of challenging (and celebrating) the lasting contributions of this great man.
