About the event

Chautauqua Showcase: Young Chautauquans
"The Famous and the Infamous"

On Friday morning, July 25, from 10:00 - 11:00am, The Young Chautauquans of Douglas County Historical Society will portray an array of historical characters. This one event is free for all to attend.

Opening each showcase event will feature Mark Twain as portrayed by McAvoy Layne, as Master of Ceremonies.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. Clemens was praised as the greatest humorist the United States has produced, with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, as well as Roughing It.

After thirty-five years of school lectures and performances across the globe, McAvoy Layne retired from performing as Mark Twain in 2023, however he continues to find reasons to dust off the white suit for a good cause and a good time.

Please bring your own seating. During all events, no pets are allowed - certified service animals only. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Guests are welcome to bring snacks and beverages, as no food or beverages will be sold at these events. All events are held outdoors.
