FLORENCE, Ala. – The Florence-Lauderdale Public Library, Pillar of Fire and the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area at the University of North Alabama will present seasoned actors and UNA alumni Will Stutts and Terry Pace in a concert reading of "The Rivalry" at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 30, in the colonnade of the library, 350 N.

The critically acclaimed Broadway play by award-winning stage, screen and radio dramatist Norman Corwin ("On a Note of Triumph," "Lust for Life," "The World of Carl Sandburg") is based on the historic political debates between rising Republican challenger Abraham Lincoln (Stutts) and Democratic incumbent Stephen A. Douglas (Pace) in the 1858 Illinois Senate race.
