(Continued on page 34) Holbrook brings Twain to life in Kâ€"W appearance Monday, March 17, The Centre In The Square presents a unique theatre experience, ‘Mark Twain Tonight‘, starring Hal Holbrook. Holbrook portrays humoristâ€"author Twain in a legendary oneâ€"man show that has received rave reviews for over three decades. The Mark Twain characterization grew out of a university honors projéct. Holbrook and his first wife conducted a twoâ€"person show playing characters from Shakespeare to Twain. After graduation in 1948, they toured the show in small towns across the U.S., sometimes doing 2 or 3 performances a day. By 1954, Holbrook started to do Twain as a solo performer on the nightclub circuit. An invitation to appear on the Ed Sullivan show gave Holbrook‘s Twain national TV exposure. Since that time, Hal Holbrook has been performing Twain around the world; his latest tour began in London and ended in India. Holbrook adds to his Twain material nearly every year, editing and changing it to fit the times. After 1,800 shows, he has memorized over 12 hours of Twain; from that he creates his twoâ€"hour show, making up the program as he goes along. . Tickets, $15 and $18, are available at the Box office, 578â€"1570, or BASS and selected agencies.
