Teddy Roosevelt Program at Boxborough’s Library

The Sargent Memorial Library in Boxborough will present Teddy Roosevelt: Mind Body and Spirit, on Tuesday, February 28 at 7:00 pm.  Actor and author Ted Zalewski brings to life one of America’s greatest presidents.  Combining history, drama, and fun, TR gives voice to many of Roosevelt’s own words, writings, and beliefs.  Cowboy, soldier, naturalist, historian, father, statesman, and winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, Theodore Roosevelt lived a life that inspires us still.  Get ready for a “bully” time with Teddy Roosevelt: Mind, Body and Spirit. A video of Ted Zalewski’s performance has been permanently placed in the National Archives, Washington, D.C.  He has appeared at a number of Presidential Libraries, including the Reagan, Ford, and Hoover libraries.  He has appeared at the White House, the Smithsonian Institution, and The National Theater.
