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

Traveling through his 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 TR comes to life with amazing clarity and surprising present-day similarities. The program strongly highlights this man's inner commitment to family values and protection of the environment. Separate programs focused age-appropriately are performed, along with extensive preparatory notes. Workshops and Residencies are also available.

A native of Chicago, Derek studied theatre at Northwestern University, the Hedgerow Theatre, New York University and the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. Derek has toured nationally and has appeared at the Body Politic in Chicago, and the Court Theatre (where he was nominated for the Joseph Jefferson Citations for two separate performances), to name a few. Derek's greatest achievement and love of his career has been touring educational programs to schools.

"Derek Evans brought Teddy Roosevelt to life and appealed to everyone in the audience."
