Frank Dixon as Mark Twain
The Unitarian Universalists of the Blue Ridge (UUBRidge), in coordination with the Rappahannock Food Pantry, are proud to present Frank Dixon, an acclaimed local actor, in a performance of “An Evening with Mark Twain.”
A retired computer-security expert now living in Criglersville in Madison County, Dixon specializes in bringing to life America’s most famous humorist and one of its greatest writers. His program is drawn from Twain’s lectures and letters, spoken in the writer’s native Missouri twang.
Tickets are $15. Half of the net proceeds will go to the Rappahannock Food Pantry, an outgrowth of the local Plant a Row program. Volunteer gardeners in the program grow extra food for the hungry, which they take to the pantry, where it is combined with packaged food from the food bank in Warrenton and goods donations.
From opening day on June 2 through Oct 1, the Food Pantry has received close to six tons of fresh and prepared foods, along with other items. A one-dollar donation can purchase the equivalent of twelve dollars of food from a retail food store. Since the pantry opened four months ago, more than 200 individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations have contributed to it and, by the beginning of October, 198 households were enrolled as recipients.
Come enjoy a great show and help neighbors in need. To reserve tickets to “An Evening with Mark Twain,” contact UUBRidge at events@uubridge.org or (540) 937-7818. (Please do not call The Theatre.)
