Mark Twain as Portrayed by Todd Loughry

The amazing Todd Loughry returns to Guthrie with a new character: Mark Twain! He's back—and he's got opinions! Join us on Friday, July 24th at 10:15 AM in the Bare Center. This living history program is suitable for all ages and is perfect for history buffs and homeschool families.
With his trademark white suit, sharp wit, and sharper tongue, Twain will offer a rousing, hilarious, and uncomfortably honest birthday toast to America. Drawing directly from his original writings, this extended monologue celebrates the genius of the American experiment while fearlessly skewering politics, patriotism, and our national habit of self-congratulation.
Was Twain a patriot? Absolutely.
Was he gentle about it? Not even slightly.
Equal parts laughter, reflection, and razor-edged truth, this special appearance invites audiences to see America the way Twain did—magnificent, maddening, and forever unfinished. Come celebrate 250 years of liberty... and listen carefully. He's still arguing.
