Breakfast with Mark Twain and Norman Rockwell 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 13 years) the home of Elvis and the Superstars and 6 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." 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. This show has had enthusiastic reviews. Breakfast is included free with admission. The show runs March 2nd through December 29th, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday; Breakfast at 9 am and the show starts at 10 am. |
