Our artistic director

In our search for an artistic director we looked for a professional with the ability to bring Lincoln's years to life. We found that quality in R. Scott Lank. Scott has the passion and talent to tell the story of Abraham Lincoln and an artistic vision that will captivate and inspire our audience.

Lank is a member of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers and the National Congress of Actors and Acting Teachers. His productions have been featured at the Toledo Repertory Theatre, the Lark Theatre, Northern Illinois University, Canadian Stage Company and the University of Evansville. A theatre professor at the University of Evansville, Lake is a 21-year veteran of the university's theatre department.

Lank has directed more than 60 productions, including many at regional and national levels at the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival. He resides in Evansville with his wife, Janet. Their daughter, Leslie, is a freshman at Butler University.
