| What
People Are Saying |
"The
humor, spirit, and message of Muir soar on in this good, honest
one-man show. Before seeing Lee Stetson, I didn't think anyone
could successfully impersonate John Muir. Last summer
in Yosemite, I attended three performances in a row and all
were spellbinding. Each night men and women were so affected
they wept unashamedly." |

Palo Alto, CA |
"This veteran actor makes us believe so deeply in Muir
that we too begin thinking of the plants and trees and wildlife
as people. Stetson has done as much or more to acquaint
Americans with one of its most remarkable sons than Muir
himself in all his writings." |
—
Chico, CA |
"An
acting tour de force, he flows with the torrent of word pictures,
surfacing brief memories of childhood and family life, but
always returning to the currents and eddies that make up his
love for the wilderness." |

"Hal
Holbrook as Mark Twain, James Whitmore as Will Rodgers, Julie
Harris as Emily Dickerson, and now - in keeping with the burgeoning
American interest in nature - Lee Stetson as John Muir."

San Francisco, CA |
"His
description of his 100 foot climb to the top of a Douglas
fir in the midst of a bracing wind storm had his guests collectively
gasp, feeling almost as breathless and windblown as the aged
storyteller himself." |
