AN EVENING WITH MARK TWAIN
New York actor Michael Mauldin, as Mark Twain in his customary white suit and ever-present cigar, takes us through a fascinating panoply of uproarious comedy, gentle reminiscence, and biting social satire on the human condition–which is amazingly relevant to today's world. Mr. Mauldin delivers a powerfully humorous and unforgettable performance–a richly rewarding experience for the Twain aficionado and novice alike.

THE GREAT KAPLAN
Illusion, music, juggling and deadpan comedy collide in this vaudevillesque spectacle. Inspired by the antics of Keaton, Sellers, Victor Borge, the Smothers Brothers and the illustrious Wile E. Coyote, among others, The Great David Kaplan welcomes spectators, young and old alike, into his wonderfully strange world which seemingly crumbles as he manages to tame a rogue bowling ball, juggle furniture, perform feats of prestidigitation and play melodies on Concert Balloon, turkey baster, and his great grandfather's Òconcert ukulele—all to the delight of a charmed and hysterical audience. He won the coveted "Peoples Choice" award at the 2006 International Brotherhood of Magicians Conference. A guaranteed Laugh-A-Minute experience!

1 CAPITOL STEPS
The Capitol Steps are a troupe of Congressional staffers-turned-comedians who travel the States satirizing the very people and places that once employed them. People love to laugh at the foibles of public figures like President George W. Bush ("Don't Go Faking You're Smart"), Vice President Dick Cheney ("The Angina Monologues") or even Bill Clinton's new office ("In the Ghetto").
