PRODUCTION SPONSORS

	Michael and Melissa Bartell With our love of the visual and performing arts, we are honored to support the performance of 3 Summers of Lincoln. This world-premiere musical, a collaboration with Joe DiPietro and Christopher Ashley, is the latest in a long line of adventuresome musical theatre that is the hallmark of the La Jolla Playhouse.
	Kay and Bill Gurtin We are thrilled to support 3 Summers of Lincoln at LJP. This remarkable story aligns perfectly with our passion for transformative theatre that educates and inspires. Exuberant music and dance highlights the bond, conflict and shared vision of two great leaders: Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. As Douglass said, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress,” a truth that resonates as deeply today as it did in their time. We hope 3 Summers will serve as a poignant reminder of how collaboration and courage can shape the future of a nation. We are excited to support Chris Ashley's brilliance and be part of this production’s journey and message.
	Sheri L. Jamieson I am always thrilled to support the work of Christopher Ashley, and this world-premiere musical is no exception. 3 Summers of Lincoln explores the powerful relationship between Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, highlighting how their unlikely friendship helped unite a fractured nation. The depth and authenticity that Chris and the entire creative team bring to this production will inspire each of us to embrace new friendships and find our own voices.
