I met this morning with 2 of my top sales people to view your dvd.. We enjoyed your program.  We found your looks awesome.  You really do look like "the man." Geoff commented that you have the Hal Holbrook Show down to a tee; pacing, and everything.   Your jokes such as,  "no teeth, my mother was happy for that" is VERY funny, and we all laughed.  Thanks,

Larry Thompson, Mobile Ed. Productions.


Last Saturday night, we felt like we'd been visited by a ghost from the past, Mark Twain. Your show is just the perfect show for the Lincoln Square  historic theatre. Since word of mouth is the best advertising, next year we will fill all 1200 seats.

"An Evening with Mark Twain". What a delightful occasion. It was a heart lifting experience with humor, so tastefully displayed. The laughter through-out the performance was gratifying as we promise our patrons the very best entertainment. To top it off it was a SRO show. A fitting tribute to the great humorist. You will be on our schedule again next season! Thank you Mr. Sutton for such a lovely evening.

It was a great show, everyone at the club enjoyed your protrayal of one of America's favorite humorist. The stories were spell binding and the music was a welcome opportunity to join in the performance. We look forward to a return appearance.  Thanks,

Thank you so much for your help in raising over $3000.00 for the benefit of Grace to the Nations. The money will be well spent and the show was just right for our audience.

Thanks, Spencer Nix, Director, Grace to the Nations

This was an interesting and moving award surprise.

After my performance at the Lincoln Square Theatre for the first time in 2007 I was presented with a permanent seat with a plaque commemorating "An Evening with Mark Twain" and the date of the performance.

What made this special is that the Lincoln Square Theatre is one of the oldest theatres in the country and is being beautifully restored to  its former glory. Which was enhanced by live performance by the likes of Bob Hope, Glen Miller Orchestra, the great magician Houdini and many other great performers.

But perhaps the greatest distinction is that it was on this site that Abraham Lincoln announced his candidacy for the Presidency.

To have a permanent seat in such company and in this classic theatre is a tribute to Mark Twain and a gracious recognition of my work.

 

Last night's performance of "An Evening with Mark Twain" a one man show, featuring Kurt H. Sutton was an exercise in dramatic art. Mr. Sutton was outstanding playing the part of Mark Twain and several of his characters including Huckleberry Finn, Miss Watson and Jim.

Mr. Sutton moved through the characters with ease and the humoros stories flowed smoothly as the evening flew by.  It was a thoroughly enjoyable night of good theatre. Here we have a worthy successor to Hal Holbrook!
