Mark Twain vs. The Imperialists

The Ridgefield Liberty Cooperative is proud to present Mark Twain vs. the Imperialists at the Ridgefield Community Center on Wednesday, June 27 at 7PM.  This one act play features Carl White, founder of the Greenwich Experimental Theater, as Mark Twain.  It provides a rare look at Mark Twain’s work as one of the leading opponents of United States colonialism at the turn of the century.  While most Americans are well acquainted with Mark Twain as the author of classics such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, his important work as a political activist is largely unknown. This play serves, not only, to remind Americans of Twain’s important political activity, but also, to stimulate discussion of the proper role of the United States in the world today. Refreshments will be served and admission is free.
