Hal Holbrook is back in 'Mark Twain Tonight'
Academy Award nominee Hal Holbrook’s MARK TWAIN TONIGHT! will return to Denver’s Buell Theatre for one night only, Saturday, March 1 at 7pm. Nominated for an Academy Award earlier today for his performance in Into the Wild, Holbrook is one of the preeminent stage, television and film actors working today, with his one-man show MARK TWAIN TONIGHT! regarded as one of the most acclaimed and enduring performances in the history of theatre. Tickets for the one night only engagement go on sale on Sunday, February 3rd at 10am.As Denver audiences know well, no one can embody Mark Twain like Hal Holbrook. A man in his late 20s when he first performed Twain at a tiny off-Broadway theatre in 1959, Holbrook – now nearly 83 – knows Mark Twain as well as he knows himself, bringing a richness to the character far beyond the quoting of Twain’s most memorable quips. Each year, Holbrook edits and changes his piece to resonate with the current state of the world and chooses the evening’s program from a collected twelve hours of material.

Pet of the Week: James
Good-natured and sweet doesn’t even begin to describe how incredible I am. I was brought to MaxFund completely blind. I am now regaining some of my sight through the assistance of all the great vets here! Through it all, I have remained steadfast, true, gentle, kind, and very affectionate.There is not a mean or irritable bone in my sweet and chunky body. I’m the most loving boy you’ll ever care to meet, and well-mannered beyond compare.
Update! I'm now ready for adoption or foster!! My eyes are MUCH better and I can see quite clearly. Come down and ask to meet me. I stay with my good friend Paulette in the back office. (She shares her lunch with me almost every day. Bologna and Cheese sandwiches.. Mmm, mmmm!!)

Stapleton - East 24th Avenue & Syracuse Street
All visitors must adhere to posted rules and regulations. Bag dispensers are provided at each park, and visitors are expected to clean-up after their pooches.
