Biography"Speaking as someone who has researched the details of Mr. Jefferson's life and times, and someone whose wife was Professor Dumas Malone's assistant during the writing of the third and fourth volumes of his Jefferson biography, I can say that Mr. Pitz's research and preparation for this daunting task of historical reenactment are extraordinarily good. Our members, who pride themselves on their scholarship in Virginia history, likewise found Mr. Pitz's performance to be exhaustively researched, faithfully accurate and mightily entertaining." Richard E. Crouch, Past President, The Historical Society of Fairfax, Virginia
"Even after more than a year our collective memory of your visit with us as Thomas Jefferson has not dimmed . . . . You were gracious, as a Virginia Gentleman should be, drawing everyone with you back into history." Mary Bruning, Director, Retired, Pittsylvania County Library
"Wow!!! What a fantastic experience. I was thoroughly drawn into the world of Jefferson, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights circa 1807. These kinds of unique opportunities are why I enrolled in the BIS program [Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Virginia]. Intellectually challenging, thought provoking and illuminating" Anonymous student review to his instructor after a visit from Mr. Jefferson
Mr. Thomas Jefferson of Albemarle County, Virginia would be honored to speak to your organization if it wishes to step back two hundred years and meet a man who helped to make America what it is today. Interpreted by Thomas Pitz, the performance offers an entertaining glimpse into the comments and attitudes of one of America's most influential, yet controversial, "Founding Fathers."
Members of the audience will have the opportunity to ask Mr. Jefferson about issues of his time or of our own day. He will respond as he would have in similar circumstances, two hundred years ago. You will find, through his responses, both similar and different realities between the early 19th and 21st centuries.
"A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable." Thomas Jefferson to John Adams
