On Saturday, October 18, 2008, the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission and the Liberty and Union Weekend Committee sponsored a reenactment of the seven Lincoln-Douglas Debates to commemorate their 150th anniversary and Lincoln's upcoming bicentennial. I prepared an original copyrighted edition taken from earlier published versions of the debates and we used seven different Lincolns and seven different Douglases. They were cast as follows:
First Debate: Douglas: Steven Torres, Esq., Lincoln: Robert Funke, Esq.
Second Debate: Lincoln: Paul Allison, Douglas: Cathal O'Brien
Third Debate: Douglas: Atty. Sherry Costa Hanlon, Lincoln: David Pottier, Fourth Debate: Lincoln: Dr. Cynthia Booth Ricciardi, Douglas: Richard Shafer; Fifth Debate: Douglas: David F. Souza, Lincoln: Jonathan Souza; Sixth Debate: Lincoln: Dr. Charles Thayer, Douglas: Joseph M. Martin, Seventh Debate: Douglas: Heidi Fiore, Lincoln: Jordan Fiore, Esq. The teams from the first six debates are all pictured here.
