The story begins in May 1903 when President Roosevelt invites naturalist John Muir to a camping trip in the Yosemite wilderness.
Both of these characters were feisty and opinionated, and had sharp disagreements on issues like hunting, animal rights, and forest management. Muir's poetic and evangelistic temperament, clashing with Roosevelt's political (and boyish) enthusiasms, naturally spawned both tension and humor. Both skillful storytellers, it seems natural that both would seek to top one another by relating some of their many adventures in the American wilderness.
The John Muir Geotourism Center hosts this professional Dinner Theater fundraising event, Friday, June 7, 2013 beginning at 5:30 pm with a garden wine reception at the beautiful Granite Dell Gardens on Highway 132; 8 miles southwest of Coulterville. Limited seating for the dinner and historical performance of the Tramp and the Rough Rider can be purchased for $40 per ticket by contacting the John Muir Geotourism Center.
Whether you're a naturalist, a sports-man, or both, you will be captivated by this passionate performance by Lee Stetson as John Muir and Alan Sutterfield as Theodore Roosevelt.
