HILLSBORO—The popular live the-
atrical production, “Meet Mark Twain,’'
starring Arkansas native Donald King
Cowan in his nationally acclaimed por-
trayal of America’s greatest humorist,
will be presented at Hill College, Thurs-
day, Oct 3, at 7:30 p.m., sponsored by
the Texas Arts Commission and Hill
College.
Twain thrilled audiences of an ear-
lier and simpler era with his uncanny
wit, barbed comments, down-home an-
ecdotes, and romantic tales of life on
the Mississippi River.
Today, Cowan brings Twain to life
once again in this labour production,
commenting on such topics as “Con-
cerning Congress” and “Smoking and
Other Bad Habits,” and serving up such
rib-tickling tall tales as “Baker’s Blue Jay
Yam and “His Grandfather’s Old Ram.”
Written and copyrighted by Cowan
in 1975, this remarkable characteriza-
tion of the timeless Twain has been
hailed as an overwhelming success by
audiences and critics alike throughout
the United States and Canada.
No detail is overlooked to transport
the audience back in time. Cowan’s me-
ticulous make-up requires three hours
to apply, his handmade suit is an exact
copy of Twain’s 1905 trademarked
white linen.
Twain, the master storyteller, takes
the stage to share century-old insights
that might have been written yesterday,
while audience reel with laughter at
his tall tales and wince at his satirical
barbs, righuon target.
With the never ending problems of
government, politics, and the economy
currently on the minds of all Americans,
Cowan says that there is still a message
to be found in Twain’s homespun phi-
losophy and satiric insights.
“Times may change, customs, laws,
and fashions may change, but people
never change,” Cowan said.
“Twain knew this. Now, nearly a
hundred years later, his message re-
mains amazingly relevant because he
so ably expressed both the best and the
worst traits of human nature.”
Admission to this nostalgic evening
of vintage American humor is free!
