Hal Holbrook brings his acclaimed one-man show Mark Twain Tonight to the Marin Veteran's Memorial Auditorium in San Rafael.

Begun as a college honors project, Holbrook first performed solo as Mark Twain in 1954. In 1959 a refined version of his show opened off-Broadway to immediate acclaim. The show won an Obie Award in 1959, followed by a Tony Award and Drama Critic's Circle Award in 1966.

Holbrook constantly revises the material to fit the times and there is no set program; he chooses the material on the fly. So enamored of the material is Holbrook and the theatre-going public that the show has been performed continuously since 1954 (over 2,100 performances), making 2008 the 54th consecutive year for this remarkable one-man show.
