Theodore Roosevelt
The Most American American Who Ever Lived!

Meet Theodore Roosevelt, live and in person through the talents of veteran actor Derek Evans.

With his first-person narrative, Derek Evans travels through Teddy Roosevelt's days as a soldier, conservationist, athlete, philosopher, adventurer, Nobel Prize winner, scholar, teacher, visionary, father and 26th president of the United States.

The exciting personal and public life of Teddy Roosevelt comes to life with amazing clarity and surprising present-day similarities. The performance strongly highlights this man's inner commitment to family values and protection of the environment. Programs are always customized for audience age group and type of event. Workshops and residencies are also available.

A native of Chicago, Derek studied theater at Northwestern and New York Universities, the Hedgerow Theater and American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Derek has toured nationally and has appeared at the While House, the Body Politic in Chicago and the Court Theater where he was nominated for the Joseph Jefferson Citation for two separate performances.


"Thank you for your performance at our events in connection with the American Presidency exhibition. Everyone was universally ecstatic and really enjoyed your presentation."

David Cholewiak, Chicago Historical Society

"If you are looking for a historic performer who is masterful at making history come alive for adults and children, look no further. Derek Evans was engaged to portray Teddy Roosevelt at the White House. From the moment he began speaking, his strong robust voice and mannerisms captivated the audience."

Kathy Langlery, Visitor Center,
White House, Washington, D.C.
