Presidents and Their First Ladies,
Dramatically Speaking: Theodore and Edith Roosevelt

Theodore and Edith Roosevelt - Old Photo

With numerous wars and fantastic technological advancements, the world was changing at a rapid pace. The United States needed a strong leader, and with Theodore Roosevelt at the helm, the nation rose to prominence in the first decade of the 20th Century. Affectionately known as "Thee" by his second wife and childhood acquaintance, Edith helped her husband through a tumultuous two terms in the White House.

The years Theodore and Edith spent as President and First Lady come to life in an exciting dramatic performance featuring the veteran acting and writing team of husband and wife, William and Sue Wills. For the past two years, the Wills have delighted standing room only crowds at various Library System locations with their powerful portrayals of Abraham and Mary Lincoln and John and Abigail Adams.

This free, one-hour program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Due to space limitations, tickets for the program will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
