‘Mark Twain Tonight!’ is Tonight at TAMIU

The world of America’s beloved author and humorist Mark Twain will come to life TONIGHT with “Mark Twain Tonight!”  starring veteran American actor of stage and screen Hal Holbrook at 7 p.m. at the Texas A&M International University Center for the Fine and Performing Arts’ Recital Hall.

The performance is part of the University’s 2013-14 A. R. Sanchez Sr. Lecture Series. 

“Mark Twain Tonight!” is a one-man play devised by Hal Holbrook, in which he depicts Mark Twain giving a dramatic recitation selected from several of his (Twain's) writings, with an emphasis on the comic ones.
However, a lengthy excerpt from “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is always included.

Holbrook, who can be seen in Steven Spielberg’s acclaimed “Lincoln” and Gus Van Sant’s  “Promised Land,” has performed the one-man show as Mark Twain since 1954.
