About:

Here is your opportunity to have "The Living Lincoln" visit your school during the months of January and February. This excellent historical program has now been presented in thousands of schools across thirty-five states from New England to California.

Besides elementary and secondary schools, our stunningly realistic-looking Abraham Lincoln impersonator has also performed in retirement homes, libraries, and even for the inmates of a county jail or two.

In schools, our presentation of Abraham Lincoln lasts approximately 45 minutes, and comprises a chronological first-person narrative of his life from his humble origins in the backwoods of Kentucky through his trying years in the White House. This show's content can be adapted to the age of the audience Mr. Lincoln is addressing.

Drawing on in-depth expert knowledge of this subject, our performer will provide an educational odyssey that is often humorous while at other times extraordinarily moving. During portions of a performance for older grades, it is not uncommon to spy a few moist eyes in the audience. Mr. Lincoln serves as an excellent role model for students of all ages!

You may expect the shelves of your media center to be emptied of related books following this program.

Women in History addresses this issue through an exciting forty-five minute program devoted to illuminating the lives and work of many of these fine women. Touching on women such as Clara Barton, Florence Nightingale, Madame Curie, Amelia Earhart, Helen Keller, Anne Sullivan, Harriet Tubman, Margaret Mead, and Eleanor Roosevelt, the presentation covers the fields of science, exploration, education, public life, and literature.

The performer adopts the role of a time traveler sliding effortlessly from one impersonation to another while referencing still to others. This imaginary journey is supported through the use of rear-screen slide projector, frequent costume changes, and small stage props.

The teaching of history to our young people, too frequently, may slide into a litany of the accomplishments of famous men, while omitting the equally important work of the opposite sex.

Though in no way diminishing the accomplishments of men, nor denigrating the role many women choose to play as homemakers, They Made a Difference allows your student to visit other sides of life, and does so in a fashion that is both educational and entertaining.
