Welcome to Meeting of Minds . . . . words not often heard since the 1970s when Steve Allen's brilliant PBS show aired nationally with teleplays featuring dynamic historical characters from different eras first aired nationally. And, now, well-known actors are once again portraying these intriguing historical figures in live stage performances and readings. So prepare to meet President Teddy Roosevelt, Galileo, Cleopatra, Attila the Hun, Charles Darwin, Emily Dickinson, Marie Antoinette, Empress Tz'U-His, Oliver Cromwell and many more portrayed by such acting luminaries as Ed Asner, Gary Cole, Steven Culp, Frances Fisher, Robert Forster, Dan Lauria, Wendie Malick, Danica McKellar, Charles Shaughnessy, Joe Spano, and many other wonderful actors who believe in giving back to our society by inspiring the curiosity and passion of whole new generations and by igniting a desire for education and knowledge that comes from understanding the great men and women of history.

It is our particular mission to perform at colleges, high schools, universities and other educational or cultural venues. Through the insight of Steve Allen, the dry and dusty history of textbooks becomes an exciting, timeless exploration of humans and their quest for understanding -- of each other, their worlds and the universe.
