An Evening with Mark Twain flier

An Evening with Mark Twain

Featuring Stephen Hollen, humorist, storyteller and performer of Dayton, Ohio.
Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at 7:30 p.m.

Samuel Clemens (1835-1910) ⁠— better known by his pen name “Mark Twain” ⁠— was one of the greatest writers and humorists in American history. He is perhaps most well known as the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Many have tried to portray him, but few have been as successful as award-winning humorst, storyteller, writer, and performer Stephen Hollen.

Stephen grew up in eastern Kentucky where he honed his southern humor and learned the fine art of storytelling. Considered by many to be one of today’s premiere Appalachian humorists, he first became a “Twainiac” at an early age when he began reading Twain’s books. It was simply serendipity which led him to impersonate Mark Twain. After hearing many times that he looked like Twain, someone finally told him, “You know … you like to tell stories, you look like Twain and you love his wit… Why not be Twain?” And so much to everyone’s enjoyment, he did. Please join us for a fascinating evening with the great Mark Twain as only Stephen Hollen can portray him.

The event is free and open to the public!

Join us at 45 W. 5th St. Chillicothe, Ohio 45601
