» "An Evening with Mark Twain"
New York actor Michael Mauldin, as Mark Twain in his customary white
suit and ever-present cigar, takes us through a fascinating panoply of
uproarious comedy, gentle reminiscence, and biting social satire on the
human condition. It is all seen through the eyes of a man who was at
the top of the literary and social spectrum for most of his life and
had reached the age and level of esteem where he felt free to say
exactly what was on his mind about politics, religion and just about
every other subject and news of the day. Drawing from a combination of
Twainís published and unpublished novels, short stories, journal notes,
autobiography and speeches, Mr. Mauldin delivers a powerfully humorous
and unforgettable performance - a richly rewarding experience for the
Twain aficionado and novice alike.

» Glen Road & Connie Dover
Imagine yourself in Ireland at the end of the day. The weather is
rough and everyone is inside in the kitchen while the rain beats on the
windows. The fire gets stoked with peat, the kettle boils and mugs of
hot sweet tea are passed around. Someone takes a fiddle off the wall
and launches into a reel, joined soon by flute and guitar. The floor
is cleared for dancing, sparks fly from the flagstones, songs are sung,
jokes and stories drift through the air and you are lost in the moment.
Welcome to GLEN ROAD. Featuring the angelic voice of Connie Dover,

performers who are equally at home in the concert hall or in the

tradition, heartfelt ballads of hard times and struggle interspersed
with intimate stories of the emigrant experience and Christmas at home
- all delivered with their notoriously irrepressible Irish wit and easy
charm.
