Roosevelt: Charge The Bear at The Roustabouts Theatre Co

The Roustabouts Theatre Co. presents Phil Johnson in the premiere of this one-man new media release 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 the gripping 90-minute presentation, the ambitious new president grapples with the issues that would define his term: taking on the trusts, trying to get his message across to the people, and his colossal challenge - the dangerous coal strike of 1902. Miners and others were killed, tensions were high, and --- the biggest threat of all --- innocent people were at risk of freezing to death that winter. This American dynamo dealt with these in his own relentless energetic way. He was a great man, a great American, and a man of character.
