On the day of Lincoln's visit to Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth made specific arrangements to ensure his plan would succeed. He secured a private box for the president by contacting the theatre manager and ensured that the box would be occupied by Lincoln during the performance. Booth also arranged for a getaway horse to be waiting outside after the assassination, allowing him to escape quickly. Additionally, he coordinated the timing of the assassination to coincide with the climax of the play, "Our American Cousin."
