The UNLV Performing Arts Center welcomes Hal Holbrook in a special performance of "Mark Twain Tonight" - arguably the most successful one-man production in the history of American Theatre - at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22.
For 50 years, Holbrook has dazzled audiences with his candid portrayal of Mark Twain. Winner of the Tony and the New York Drama Critics Circle Awards, Holbrook has the uncanny ability to change and edit his Twain to fit the times.
"I came ... to see a professional man of theatre dress up and honor Mark Twain, and instead had to settle for the crotchety, cigar-smoking genuine article. By my count, the ornery fellow on stage was a spry 168 ... I never did get to see Mr. Holbrook" (John L. Smith, Las Vegas Review-Journal).
Academy Award-nominee for 2007, Holbrook has appeared in dozens of movies and numerous television programs, in addition to his lengthy and varied career on the stage.
