Holbrook’s movie career began with The Group in 1966 when he was 41 years old. Since then, moviegoers have seen him in more than 40 films.Throughout his long career, Holbrook has continued to perform Mark Twain every year since 1954, including his third and fourth New York engagements in 1977 and 2005; and a world tour in 1985, the 150th anniversary of Mark Twain’s birth, beginning in London and ending in New Delhi. And he has constantly returned to the stage: in New York (Buried Inside Extra, 1983; The Country Girl, 1984; King Lear 1990; An American Daughter, (1997); at regional theatres (Our Town, Uncle Vanya, Merchant Of Venice, King Lear, A Life In The Theatre, Be My Baby and Southern Comforts, the last two with his wife Dixie Carter); and a National Tour of Death Of A Salesman. But Holbrook has never been able to quit Mark Twain and probably never will. He gave his 2200th performance in March 2010, making 2012 the 58th consecutive year for this remarkable one man show. "Mark Twain Tonight!" has become perhaps the longest running show in theatre history. Holbrook adds to his Twain material every year, editing and changing it to fit the times and has mined over sixteen hours of Twain with more coming all the time. He has no set program – he chooses material as he goes along.The performance will take place at Gila Ridge High School Auditorium!No Refunds or Exchange
