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.
