Impressionist Randall Reeder will present “Will Rogers Today” on Thursday evening for the Gaston Lecture Series at Arkansas State University-Mountain Home. The event is set for 6:00 in the Ed Coulter Performing Arts Center at the Vada Sheid Community Development Center. There is no charge to attend, and tickets are not required.
Reeder has brought to life the warmth and humor of Will Rogers, as he speaks to audiences across America, including students, business professionals, rural audiences, and folks from all walks life, just like Will Rogers always did.
Event organizers say Reeder is more than a Will Rogers impersonator, or a Will Rogers impressionist or a Will Rogers speaker. Audience members indicate they feel they are in the presence of Will Rogers himself. As a look-alike, Reeder often has attendees doing a double-take.
Reeder draws on Will Rogers’ published writings and other sources, plus remembrances by Rogers’ family and acquaintances, to customize his presentation. He adds observations about life, politics, and the world today, presented with the Will Rogers style and grace.
Reeder includes photos of Rogers, his family and friends to enhance his story and blend the technology and commentary with the warmth and understanding that made Will Rogers the most beloved American of the 1920s and 1930s.
