Compiled by Clarence Felder, directed by Chris Weatherhead, and starring David Reed as Mark Twain, this one-hour, one-act evening is a grab bag of laughs which takes the audience on a number of wild adventures in getting "culture". Some hilarious stops along the way are Twain's "Raftman's Passage", "Concerning Tobacco", and "About Barbers." The evening also offers some surprises by other humorists portrayed by ATSC founders and veteran entertainment stars, Clarence Felder and Chris Weatherhead.
David Reed, who portrays the irascible and twinkle-eyed Mark Twain, has been performing leading roles for The Actors' Theatre for the last six years, including the Jewish Psychiatrist in their highly acclaimed hit, "2:Goering At Nuremberg" by Romulus Linney at Piccolo Spoleto Theatre Festival, and across the state. He also created the role of Percy Bysshe Shelley in "Mary Shelley: Creature of Fire" by Clarence Felder, in Columbia and Charleston. In Columbia, he has performed in numerous productions including Lt. Greenwald in "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial," for the Workshop Theatre and more recently as Mister Blonde in High Voltage Theatre's production of "Reservoir Dogs" and the raucus Stanley in Chapin Theatre's production of "Run For Your Wife!". Mister Reed is an accomplished poet himself and will be seen next spring in "Poetry on the Porch," also at the Main Library.
Clarence Felder is known most to audiences for his many film and television performances in "Ruthless People" with Danny Devito, "The Last Boy Scout," with Bruce Willis, and as a series regular on ABC's hit comedy-cop show, "Hooperman," as well as numerous others. Ms. Weatherhead, also a veteran of film and television, starred for two years Off-Broadway in James Lapine's runaway hit, "Table Settings," as the zany wife, and has played leading comic roles across the U.S. for twenty-five years. She is best known to local audiences as the dazzling Mary Boykin Chesnut, in her one-woman productions which have continued to tour through the state and beyond.
