An American Story For Actor And Orchestra: Hershey Felder Tickets

Hershey Felder presents An American Story for Actor and Orchestra, a compelling historical narrative performed through the perspective of Dr. Charles Leale, the Union Army medic who attended President Abraham Lincoln after the shooting. This production blends storytelling with live orchestration, placing audiences in the moment of a pivotal American chapter. The show sits within Felder’s broader Composer Sonata lineage, highlighting historical context, musical storytelling, and an intimate performer-audience connection without portraying the composer directly.

Originally premiering in San Diego at Birch North Park Theatre in January 2013 after a Los Angeles tryout, the piece soon found a home in Chicago at the Royal George Theatre in 2013, with Pasadena runs dating back to 2012. While the show is a standalone narrative, it is part of Felder’s ongoing exploration of history, music, and dramatic storytelling.

Fans can expect a performance that merges history, memory, and a carefully curated musical backdrop. We’ve got you covered on accessibility, tickets, and reliable information as you plan your visit to see this intimate, informative piece live on stage.
