9/18/13 - A one-man show â âAn Evening with Mark Twainâ â will be presented this Friday and Saturday and the weekend of October 4 and 5 at the COBACH building in downtown Brighton. Pat Tucker, a Brighton Township resident who works as an automotive engineer in his day job and as an actor in his spare time, will portray the world-famous 19th century author and humorist. Samuel Clemens, Twainâs real name, was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, along the Mississippi River. Tucker, in his best Mark Twain voice, tells WHMI that Twain incorporated his own experiences and the rich Mississippi River culture that existed in that era and used that in his writings and public performances. Twain was the author of two great American classics â âThe Adventures of Tom Sawyerâ and âThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finnâ. As a humorist, Twain had his own personal observations about everything from politics to religion and philosophy. Tucker, who wrote the one-man play himself, borrows from Twain quotes liberally in his presentation. âAn Evening with Mark Twainâ is the first in a series of intimate productions titled âHistory Aliveâ at the COBACH building and presented by the Livingston Players. Tickets for âAn Evening with Mark Twainâ are available at the COBACH building â the former Brighton town hall - at St. Paul and Main streets and at the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce during regular business hours. For ticket information call 810-229-2784 or go to the website livplayers.org. (TT)
