Dear Supporter –

After our sold out 2012 presentation of Mark Twain Tonight!, this theater season celebrates Mr. Holbrook’s 90th birthday and a remarkable 61st year of continuous performance of his Tony- and Emmy- award winning one-man play. Holbrook knows Twain as well as he knows himself, bringing richness to the character far beyond the quoting of Twain’s most memorable lines. His ever-changing selection of material from Twain’s vast body of work coincides with current events, keeping the show as fresh as ever, and amazing audiences with the relevancy to today.

Please join us for this very special evening of entertainment, and consider doing so at a VIP level or higher. Your generous support to our ongoing matching gift challenge and capital campaign is critical to us delivering our expansion and restoration plans in 2015. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see one of the most acclaimed and the longest running show in American theater history, while supporting a local National Historic Landmark with its own richly unique place in American history.

…stopping in St. Louis to dedicate a marker on the childhood home of his late friend and fellow author, Eugene Field. That visit at the circa 1845 row house at 634 South Broadway began years of preservation of one of the city’s most historic landmarks, which not only honors Eugene, but equally recognizes his father Roswell, who made immeasurable contributions to American civil rights in his legal representation of Dred and Harriet Scott in their pursuit of freedom. From the Field House’s early days of preservation by the St. Louis City Board of Education in the 1930s and school children’s “penny campaigns”, to today’s non-profit foundation which seeks to further protect and expand this National Historic Landmark, we welcome Hal Holbrook in “Mark Twain Tonight!” to symbolically support our capital campaign to make our plans a reality in 2015.June 1902 dedication at the Eugene Field House
