ABOUT Richard Thomas in Mark Twain Tonight!  

An older man in a white suit gestures while speaking on stage next to a podium draped with an American flag, reminiscent of Mark Twain Tonight. The background is dark with blue stage lighting.

Emmy-Award® winning Actor and 2025 Theater Hall of Fame Inductee Richard Thomas brings to life “the nation’s one true comic genius” (The New York Times) in Mark Twain Tonight!, written and originally performed by Hal Holbrook. Join the millions who have cheered for the legendary one-man show, bursting with Twain’s “uproariously funny” and “pungently wise” (Time Magazine) humor.

Most recently seen on Broadway in Our Town and The Balusters, Richard Thomas has also toured as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird and appeared in Netflix’s Ozark. Beloved to generations as John-Boy Walton, Richard Thomas is the first and only actor authorized to perform Mark Twain Tonight! since the original. 

Uproariously funny!
