“And now I am pleased to introduce the scholar behind the character…

Colorado-based historian & Theodore Roosevelt historical performer Kurt Skinner takes audiences of all ages back to a time when Theodore Roosevelt embodied all the promise of the new AMERICAN century. A retired military officer-turned high school U.S. history teacher, Kurt is a life-long student of history. Theodore Roosevelt’s presence looms large in his daily routine as he also produces and co-hosts a podcast about Theodore Roosevelt called Talk About Teddy. In his performances throughout the country as Theodore Roosevelt, he wants to honor and faithfully represent this man that he so admires. His goal in the persona of "T.R." is to engage, entertain, and enlighten audiences, and remind us, speaking T.R.’s own words, what has always been great about Teddy Roosevelt’s America! Kurt serves as an Advisory Board member of the Theodore Roosevelt Association, Americanism Council member of The American Legion, and as Deputy Director of The American Legion Colorado Boys State program.
