‘Mark Twain’s Final Tour’

SecondStory Repertory presents Stan Gill in his acclaimed one-man show “Mark Twain’s Final Tour.” The show runs from April 28-May 7. Artistic Director Stan Gill celebrates 35 years of performing his one-man evening of Twain’s hilarious and touching tall tales. At the turn of the twentieth century, Mark Twain toured the world. In his seventies by then, he entertained audiences with his hilarious, bold and poignant comments on the human condition. These controversial performances gave his readers new insight into the nation’s most beloved author and humorist.

Mr. Twain may recount, if he is so inclined, his experiences with newspaper interviewers; cannibals (for whom interviewers have sometimes been mistaken); foreign tour guides; grandfather’s old ram; an unfortunate mishap with a glass eye; and, alas, “the girl who got away.” Huckleberry Finn may just make an appearance as well. These are reminiscences biting and bizarre, funny and sweet. It’s satire in its most pure and original form.

Opening night is Friday, April 28 at 8:15 p.m. Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:15 p.m., with one Sunday matinee, on April 30 at 2:15 p.m. And there will be a benefit performance on Sunday, May 7 at 2:15 with a special reception following the performance, check the website for more information. Ticket prices are $24 general admission; $18 for students, seniors and educators, with I.D. Ticket price for the benefit performance is $55.

SecondStory Repertory is located upstairs in Redmond Town Center. For directions and more info, visit the company’s website at www.SecondStoryRep.org or call the box office at (425) 881-6777. Tickets can be purchased from the SSR website for an additional fee.
