Gift Certificates

Treat friends and loved ones to a night out at the theatre. Or give them a chance to explore the history of Ford’s Theatre and Lincoln’s legacy.

With a gift certificate, the recipient has the freedom to choose what they would like to experience. They can experience a live performance in a historic theatre like no other. Or they can step back in time and learn about the events of April 14, 1865, and the lasting impact of Lincoln’s assassination on our nation.
