Roosevelt Charge the Bear

Phil Johnson stars in this new one-man show about President Theodore Roosevelt, one of the most fascinating people of the 20th century. Johnson brings this multi-faceted character to life in a truly riveting, energetic, and passionate performance.

In this gripping 90-minute show, we see the new president grapple with the issues that would define his term: taking on the trusts, trying to get his message across to the people, and another enormous challenge - the coal strike of 1902. Miners and others were killed, tensions were high, and the biggest threat of all, that innocent people would freeze to death that winter. This American dynamo dealt with these in his own relentless energetic way and was an example of something in politics we miss today: conscience.
