Richard Thomas to perform Mark Twain Tonight! at Town Hall

Actor Richard Thomas will take the stage at The Town Hall in Manhattan for a one-night-only performance of Mark Twain Tonight! on Monday, November 2, 2026. The New York engagement serves as a homecoming appearance before the production launches a 38-city national tour across 35 states in early 2027.

Written and originally performed by Hal Holbrook, the one-man show features the commentary, wit, and observations of author Mark Twain. Thomas stands as the first and only actor authorized to perform the authorized production.

The Town Hall performance will benefit The Entertainment Community Fund and takes place on the eve of the 2026 midterm elections. The special evening includes a post-show talkback with author Ron Chernow.

Tickets for the New York engagement are available through The Entertainment Community Fund website. Access for the upcoming 2027 tour stops, running from January through May, is available through the official production site.

The production launched its initial tour in August 2025 in Hartford, Connecticut, eventually reaching more than 55,000 audience members across 46 cities. Thomas, a 2025 Theater Hall of Fame inductee, recently earned a 2026 Tony Award nomination for his Broadway performance in The Balusters.
