THE LEGENDARY HAL HOLBROOK IN MARK TWAIN TONIGHT!

Riverside, CA – Academy Award-nominated actor Hal Holbrook, who has been performing his Tony Award-winning solo show Mark Twain Tonight! for 60 years, will be coming to the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, Calif., for one night only. Tickets are on sale now for the performance on Saturday, January 17 at 7 p.m. (doors at 6 p.m.).

Tickets are available at foxriversidelive.com, ticketmaster.com, at Fox Performing Arts Center Box Office or by phone at 800-745-3000.

What is believed to be the longest running show in the history of American theatre, Mark Twain Tonight! features Holbrook as he depicts the celebrated author when he was on the lecture circuit with his social commentary as relevant today as it was more than 100 years ago. A show that continues to evolve even in its sixth decade, three new numbers are adding another hour to its revolving repertoire of material, including one on the Christian Bible, another on the fate of America’s laboring class, and one from the feuding clans in Huckleberry Finn.

“Mark Twain never stops surprising me,” says Holbrook. “He’s kept me fired up and asking questions most of my 89 years.”

It was 1954 when a 29-year-old Holbrook began portraying the 70-year-old Twain in a make-up process that took around four hours to create. While maintaining an active television and film career, the five-time Emmy Award-winning actor’s solo show, Mark Twain Tonight!, has continued to grow with him amid nearly 100 stage plays in New York and regional theatres around the country. Holbrook has been known to say, “I’ve been on the road most of my life.”

Hailed as one of the treasures of American theatre by Life Magazine, Mark Twain Tonight! continues to captivate audiences nationwide.
