Jim Post
(as Mark Twain)
8pm
Saturday, Jan 10th
(& a Feb 1st
1:00pm Sunday Matinee!!)
Jim Post, who has been performing as Mark
Twain to rave reviews for the past several
years, will be performing his highly
acclaimed show Mark Twain and the
Laughing River. The show features
dialogue as Mark Twain, and Post's new,
original songs, written in his persona as
Twain. Because Mark Twain sang with a
beautiful tenor voice, played banjo, piano,
and guitar, and loved to show off at
parties, Post is a natural personification
of this 19th Century author, humorist and
folk icon. After attending this
performance, you will believe you have just
been to one of Mark Twain's own parties.
“Jim Post mines
heartfelt hilarity from the earlier days of
our most American writer. . .This is a
perfect show.” -- Chicago Tribune
"Post's depiction of
Mark Twain is nothing less than brilliant,
and each sentence and song is a gem . . .
This is a show that should be on Broadway!"
