Thomas Jefferson PORTRAYED BY STEVE EDENBO
Thomas Jefferson is an American titan who led by charisma and conversation, rather than by coercion. The first United States Secretary of State, the second Vice President, the third President, Jefferson considered these roles as responsibilities, not accomplishments. Jefferson was most proud of penning the Declaration of Independence, founding the University of Virginia, and shepherding the Statute of Religious Freedom; he considered these achievements his gifts to America.
Steve’s school programs challenge and engage his audiences. He invites middle and elementary school students onstage to interact with 18th century toys that embody Jeffersonian concepts. He invites high school students to participate in structured conversation, during which they can challenge and question Jefferson’s ideas and actions. His motivational seminars and keynote speeches inform as well as inspire.
