Hal Holbrook in
MARK TWAIN TONIGHT!

Hal Holbrook portrays Mark Twain as a 70-year old humorist who skewers politicians, newspapermen and so-called patriots in an intimate look behind the famed author and American treasure. Holbrook adapted Twain’s own words for a commentary on slavery, religion and politics, mixing the satire with comic yarns about life on the Mississippi and a very effective ghost story.

Grammy Award-winning artist
AMY GRANT

Conventional wisdom has it that Amy Grant put Contemporary Christian music on the map. She surely did that, achieving such breakthroughs as being the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit #1 pop and the first to perform at the Grammys. Yet perhaps her greatest accomplishment was to open the door for a flood of other artists in pop as well as rock to sing about faith and soul and family and still grasp stardom. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past couple of decades is assured.

For more than 20 years Samaras has been following his passion of chasing storms to better understand and predict their path. In this riveting presentation Samaras shares dramatic footage from his adventures and bits of scientific insight gained along the way.
