BRINGING HISTORY TO LIFE!

Dr. John "Chuck" Chalberg delights many audiences throughout the United States with his historical impersonations of American and British characters, such as President Theodore Roosevelt and G.K. Chesterton.

His characterizations of Theodore Roosevelt and H.L. Mencken began as an extension of his teaching of American History at Normandale Community College in Bloomington, MN. In recent years he has added G.K. Chesterton, George Orwell, Branch Rickey, and most recently Bobby Jones, while reviving a past character, Huey Long. Last summer, he also revived his characterization of Patrick Henry for a chautauqua in AK.

Chuck is attempting to bring to life several significant figures of the past. He has performed for state chautauquas all over the country, as well as for many colleges and business groups. We ask you to contribute your questions and thoughts on our characters' discussion forums. Speaking of questions, all of his characters (except Chesterton) take unrehearsed questions from their audiences.

The Christian Meeting and Convention Association, LLC lists Chuck as a recommended speaker, particularly his portrayals of Chesterton, Roosevelt, and Rickey. He was recently highlighted as the Featured Resource in the fall 2006 edition of Cross Ties, a publication of The Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities.

This website brings every character to life by offering their own online profile, links to internet resources and recommended reference materials, small video clippets, image galleries and discussion groups.

Mr. Chalberg has also written and copyrighted a parody of the original preamble of the U.S. Consitution. It is titled The Lost Preamble which reflects the thinking of two of his intellectual heroes, G.K Chesterton and C.S. Lewis, as well as his reflections on recent Supreme Court decisions. It has been caligraphied and is available for preview by contacting Chuck at chuckc@historyonstage.com. He has had it laminated and is also available in "parchment" form. These are available for purchase at $10 per laminated copy and $4 or 3 for $10 in "parchment."
