Join America’s most versatile Founding Father for a delightful evening of humor, insight, and inspiration as Benjamin Franklin comes to life to share his timeless wit and practical wisdom. Drawing on his remarkable life as a statesman, inventor, author, and philosopher, Franklin will entertain with anecdotes, proverbs, and reflections that reveal the character and intellect of one of history’s greatest polymaths. Whether recounting tales from his days as a printer’s apprentice or offering sage advice from Poor Richard’s Almanack, Franklin’s humor and insight continue to resonate in our modern world. A Q&A session with Mr. Franklin will follow. Presented in collaboration with The Williamsburg Institute (TWI), proceeds from this fundraising event benefit TWI and the Osher Institute at William & Mary.
