‘Catch the Twain’ blended music and stories at Helen Plum library April 21

Helen Plum Memorial Library in Lombard presents “Catch The Twain: The Musical” on Monday, April 21.

“Mark and I have been developing this Chautauqua style program for almost a year now,” said Warren Brown, who has spent over thirty years researching the life and work of Twain. “And just Twain himself, we like to play off the audience members and each other with stories, jokes and songs.”

“Warren Brown is Mark Twain,” said folk musician and songwriter Mark Dvorak who provides the soundtrack to Brown’s performance, performing old-time banjo tunes, period songs and audience participation.

“Warren is hilarious. We’ve been crossing paths for years and it’s been a lot fun working with him to put this show together.”

The Blue Island Public Library calls Brown, “Better than Holbrook … almost as good as Twain,” and Humanities Nebraska says, “Brown reaches out to people and makes them laugh and learn at the same time.”

The entertaining program is family-friendly and educational will be at 1 p.m. at the Helen Plum Memorial Library, 411 S. Main St.
