Richard Thomas to Star in Benefit Performance of Mark Twain Tonight!

The Entertainment Community Fund (formerly the Actors Fund) will present a one-night-only benefit performance of Mark Twain Tonight! by Hal Holbrook on Monday, November 2 at the Town Hall.

The play will star Emmy Award winner, Tony Award nominee, and 2025 Theater Hall of Fame inductee Richard Thomas. Bestselling author Ron Chernow, who wrote Mark Twain, will join Thomas for a post-performance talkback. Proceeds will help the Entertainment Community Fund support performing arts and entertainment professionals in need.

Thomas, whose theater credits include The Balusters on Broadway and To Kill a Mockingbird on tour, is the only actor authorized to perform Mark Twain Tonight! since the original.

The creative team includes creative consultant Michael Wilson, scenic designer Brian Prather, costume designer Sam Fleming, lighting designer Anthony Pearson, sound designer Shannon Slaton, and wig designer Luc Verschueren for Campbell Young Associates.
