Mr. Fresnel to Mr. Smith..."please tell my story." Not only has Joseph Smith done just that, his performance is so stellar and accurately portrayed that it makes one feel as if they actually have had the chance to meet and talk with Augustin Fresnel in the present. In some incredible way that words cannot adequately explain, the audience has indeed met Mr. Fresnel through such a timeless performance. Bravo Joseph Smith!

“The American Revolution Roundtable of New York had a unique experience: a reincarnation of one of the American Revolution’s most original eyewitnesses, Philip Freneau.
Joseph (as Freneau) had a lot to say & he started saying it vigorously, brilliantly, wittily, before our goggled eyes & amazed ears for the next 45 enthralling minutes. The applause was thunderous & sustained...It was our Round Table’s way of saying thanks for this chance to not merely hear about history, but to live it.”
