The Tramp and the Roughrider - An
Evening with John Muir and Teddy
Roosevelt
Lee Stetson & Allan Sutterfield
Saturday, September 20 - 7 PM
Escalante High School Auditorium
In May of 1903,
President
Theodore
Roosevelt
planning a tour
of the western
forests, invited
the naturalist
John Muir on a
four day camping trip
in the Yosemite wilderness.
The Tramp and the Roughrider illuminates this
extraordinary encounter. At the time of this
historic meeting, the federal government had
established only five national parks (there was
no park service) and one small wildlife preserve.
Around the campfire, sifting through their histories
and their hopes, these very different men discover
how they have been shaped by the wilderness
they love. By the end of Roosevelt’s presidency,
America could boast of an additional 200 million
acres of forest wilderness, five more national parks
and 65 wildlife preserves.
Lee Stetson’s portrayal of John Muir is one of Lee’s
more than 50 major career roles from Shakespeare
to Simon. His most recent film credits include a
featured role as the voice of John Muir in the
Ken Burns documentary Our National ParksAmerica’s Best Idea. Alan Sutterfield portraying
President Teddy Roosevelt has been an actor and
playwright for many years, both in Hawaii and on
the mainland United States.

The Spirit of John Muir
Lee Stetson
Tuesday, September 23 - 7 PM
Escalante High School Auditorium
In a special tribute to the 50th Anniversary of the
Wilderness Act, this show is a fun romp through
some of the very best of
Muir’s grand, thrilling
adventures in his
beloved western
wilderness. The
perilous night
on Mount Shasta
with Muir freezing
in the midst of a
howling blizzard while
simultaneously being boiled
and blistered in hot springs; his astonishing ride
down a Yosemite Valley canyon wall on a snow
avalanche; and climbing the 500’ wall of the
winter ice cone beneath the Yosemite Fall are only
a few of the amazing - and true - adventures.
Lee Stetson’s one-person show, based on the life
of the naturalist John Muir has been presented
to more than a quarter of a million visitors to
Yosemite National Park since 1983. His creation
of the John Muir production has taken him to
Scotland and Japan as well as throughout the US
and Canada to universities, parks and museums.
Mr. Stetson lectures frequently on the arts and
the environment and spends considerable time
promoting the performing arts in the national
parks.
