An Evening with Teddy Roosevelt 2016
Joe Wiegand is regarded as our nation's premier Theodore Roosevelt recreator. A political science graduate of The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, Joe was a Harry S. Truman Scholar and Thomas Watson Fellow in his college days. After a twenty-five year career in politics and public policy, Joe began to tour the country as Theodore Roosevelt.
In 2008, to celebrate Theodore Roosevelt's 150 th birthday, Joe, his wife, Jenny, daughter, Sam, and golden retriever, Faith, toured the 50 states. Their travels culminated with a performance in the East Room of the White House for President and Mrs. Bush. Joe continues to portray the Rough Rider in presentations and theatre shows across the country.
