“We don’t have time machines yet, but until then, Mitchell Kramer as Benjamin Franklin is the next best thing.
His base of knowledge, poise, and charm, creates a living history lesson for people of all ages to learn about the life and times of the greatest of our founding fathers, who, by the way, was one of the best-known scientists of his day.”

“Mitch Kramer doesn’t impersonate Ben Franklin. He embodies him. Kramer captures not only Franklin’s mannerisms and voice, but his way of being in the world, his essence. Watching Kramer perform, I found myself transported and transfixed. When I asked a question, I felt it was Franklin himself who answered.”
Eric Weiner, New York Times Bestselling author of The Geography of Bliss and other titles.
