| Mark Dawidziak as Mark Twain |
He first portrayed Twain during
the 1980s in Tennessee and Virginia before he began working for the Beacon Journal.
Mark will perform solo
this time, but he has done "Twain by Three" often with his wife, Sara
Showman, and Jason Davis, an Akron native who lives in Fairlawn Heights.
Mark and Sara’s Largely
Literary Theater Company, founded in 2001, also does shows centered on Charles
Dickens and Edgar Allan Poe. Their first performance of Dickens’ “A Christmas
Carol” was given in 2002 in Taylor Memorial Library in Cuyahoga Falls.
Mark has written many non-fiction books, a novel,
short stories and several plays, and teaches the Reviewing Film and Television
course at Kent State University.
Mark Twain’s birth name was Samuel Clemens. He was an author,
river boat pilot and humorist. "Huckleberry Finn" was one of his most
famous books.
