Norris Gallery event series concludes April 30 with Mark Twain portrayal
On Sunday, April 30, the Norris Cultural Arts Center in St. Charles is wrapping up its spring season of "Music and More in the Gallery" events when Terry Lynch performs "Between Two Comets: The Life of Mark Twain."
Remembered for his wit as well as his writings, Mark Twain lived his life between the Halley's comet appearances of 1835 and 1910. During that time, he penned some of the most beloved and controversial literature of the 19th century.
In this one-man show, Terry Lynch portrays Mark Twain discussing his life, writings, the struggle to be accepted by society, and the difficulties of supporting his family with his work.
A nationally known actor, Lynch specializes in historical portrayal to meet the needs of the young at heart who are never too old to learn something new about history's most interesting, inspirational figures.
His one-man, interactive presentations give audiences a new, first-person perspective on the people and events that make up our history and culture.
A professional voice-over artist, actor and speaker in the Chicago area for more than 30 years, Lynch's acting credits include stage, television, film, and radio. Lynch has appeared regularly on the WGN Morning Show in Chicago, and draws upon his years of theatrical and improvisational training at Northern Illinois University, Second City Training Center, and The iO Theater to create presentations that are humorous, informative, and inspirational.
Along with his wife Laura, a certified educator for over 20 years and member of "Who's Who in American Education," Lynch co-wrote two books: "Mistakes Happen: An Historical Guide to Overcoming Adversity" and "Nicholas Comes to America: The Story of Santa Claus."
The program will begin at 3 p.m. in the Norris Art Gallery at the Norris Cultural Arts Center located on the Norris campus at 1040 Dunham Road in St. Charles.
