Time With John Adams

Live Theatrical Performance with George Baker
Live, In-Person & Live on Zoom: Registration required for In-Person.
Tuesday, July 23 from 7:00 – 8:00 PM

Adams and Jefferson shared a close 50 year relationship: first as Revolutionary War comrades, then fellow ambassadors to England and France, then competitive candidates for the Presidency, and finally prolific correspondents to one another until their deaths on the same day, July 4, 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of American independence.

In this theatrical performance, George Baker as John Adams will discuss this enduring and complex friendship of two of our most prominent founding fathers.

For more than fifteen years, George Baker has portrayed the character of President John Adams in a one-man show throughout the country at national conventions and venues like Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, the Presidential Libraries of Dwight D. Eisenhower, George H. W. Bush, and Harry S. Truman, the New-York Historical Society and was featured as John Adams on National Public Radio’s weekend program, Studio 360. A graduate of Columbia College and Columbia Law School, George practices law in Connecticut when not on the road as John Adams.
