Gaybraham Lincoln is a satirical musical detailing the state affairs and affairs of state surrounding the American civil war. Frustrated by Abraham's lack of sexual interest, Mary Todd Lincoln begins an affair with General Ulysses S. Grant, unaware that president Lincoln has begun his own affair with eccentric and unstable actor John Wilkes Booth. With music satirizing and honoring the songs of the civil war, Gaybraham Lincoln is an irreverent historical farce that poses fundamental questions about sexuality, identity, and equality.

Expanded from an original script by Jared Corwin and songs by Jacob Minter, Gaybraham Lincoln: The Musical was developed under dramaturg and director Gabriella Carr, culminating in a student-run production at Ithaca College in December of 2013. Following the success of the premiere performance, an expanded cast album was developed and recorded with a 15-piece orchestra directed by composer Jacob Minter.
