Abraham Lincoln Video Preview
Always interested in bringing history to life, Michael has created one-person shows
that highlight selected historical personalities. He presents a vignette that is accurate, from make-up and costume to set
pieces and stage props. His Cast of Characters, includes the personalities of such diverse individuals as Abraham Lincoln,
Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, Buffalo Bill and Harry Houdini.
In 1981 Michael conceived, co-produced, co-wrote and
co-starred in the television version of An Historic Evening an innovative presentation of three historical personalities;
Walt Whitman, Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe, for the time a truly innovative concept for television. The production
captured the essence of these three dynamic figures of history in an evening of entertainment and history.
His
performances have taken him throughout the heartland of America sharing the wit, insight, humor and history of these characters.
Equally at home at conferences or in the theatre, these historical vignettes bring humor and pathos to any gathering.
Breathing life into academics...these characters form a bridge from our past to our present.
