Hal Holbrook Stars As Twain In MARK TWAIN TONIGHT! 10/10 At VMA

HAl Holbrook stars in Mark Twain Tonight! on Saturday, October 10 at 8:00 pm at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Providence.

Oscar-nominated actor HAl Holbrook has been bringing the unique humor and wit of the celebrated American author Mark Twain to the stage for nearly 50 years. Seeing Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight! is more than watching a master craftsman at the top of his art. The actor has lived in the role so long, honed it to such a fine edge, worn it so often like a second skin, that the act is practically organic. Holbrook understands Twain, and through him, one of the most unique minds of any age continues to flourish.
