Author of Biography "Hooked on Twain" Coming to Angels Camp Museum & Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee
Angels Camp, Calif. ….For 20 years now, in over two thousand performances from Leningrad University in Russia to C-Span, McAvoy Layne has survived, and in fact been preeminent, in preserving the wit and wisdom of "The Wild Humorist of the Pacific Slope" -- Mark Twain. Says McAvoy, "It's like being a Monday through Friday preacher, whose sermon, though not reverently pious, is fervently American.".....
McAvoy is author of the biography, Hooked On Twain, and winner of the Nevada award for excellence in school and library service. He portrays the Ghost of Mark Twain in A&E's biography of Mark Twain and in the Discovery Channel's Cronkite Award winning documentary, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
McAvoy will be performing at the Angels Camp Museum on May 12. The show includes dinner, it begins at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are available at the Fairgrounds and at the Angels Camp Museum, the cost is $25 per person or $40 a couple. You can catch Layne’s performances at the Calaveras County Fair May 13-16. The performance is free with the price of admission.
