Historical & Patriotic Groups

Let our most beloved Founding Father energize your next historical association meeting or patriotic celebration. Chris’s Benjamin Franklin will provide background and personal anecdotes on Ben’s slow evolution from loyal Briton to ardent American Patriot. As the only man who signed each of the four key documents that established our Republic, Ben had a unique and often painful perspective on his times, and is perfectly positioned to illuminate the debates and decisions that continue to mold our nation. Hear Ben, the tenth son of an immigrant candle-maker, tell his story of how industry and thrift, coupled with great inquisitiveness, energy, and determination to live usefully, helped him achieve his version of the American Dream. Admire anew the courage and determination of our Founding Fathers, and listen to Ben talk of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams, patriots all, but different in so many ways. Chris’s knowledge of Ben’s contributions and his long experience in the theater combine to breathe life into this fascinating citizen. This presentation will inspire all who revere those "times that tried men’s souls" and seek to apply the wisdom and values of the Founding Fathers to today’s America.
