​​“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.”

​​“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.”
