Breakfast with Mark Twain and Norman Rockwell

Now playing at the Hot Hits Theater in Downtown Branson, 206 S Commercial Street.

Clem Samuels (a.k.a. Dave "Elvis" Ehlert) stars as Mark Twain in this remarkable tribute to America's most noted humorist and to the work of beloved illustrator Norman Rockwell. "Twain" comments on the world in general and in particular on Rockwell's illustrations for the Tom & Huck tales. In addition, the show's Rockwell Gallery features over 100 of Rockwell's most endearing illustrations.

You'll be laughing in the aisles with this uncanny portrayal of the whisky drinkin' cigar smokin' humorist who inspired the world with his sharp tongue and soft heart. Norman Rockwell's artwork is displayed on a huge projection screen during the show. Let the artwork of America's most beloved illustrator take you back to an earlier time in America when doors were left unlocked and you always stopped to help a stranger. All this and a FREE breakfast!

This show has had enthusiastic reviews. Breakfast is included free with admission.

The show runs March 10 through December 30th, 2009; Monday through Friday; Breakfast at 9 am and the show starts at 10 am.

Historical Notes for the Mark Twain show:

Previously at the Historic Owen's Theatre in Downtown Branson, 205 S Commercial Street.

The Owen's Theatre is Branson's first theater, built in 1935 by former Branson Mayor Jim Owen. It is now (and has been for the past 15 years in 2009) the home of Elvis and the Superstars and 2 other shows. The theater's 200 seats have been replaced, but its rustic rock walls, "A-frame" cathedral ceiling and Fireplace Room Lobby are still there for a perfect blend of "old" and "new."
