Samuel Clemens discovered his literary lodestone in Virginia City. McAvoy Lane brings that history to life as he returns to PiperÕs Opera House for An Evening with Mark Twain in Nevada.

Bio: McAvoy Layne Is the Ghost of Mark Twain

For thirty years now, in over four thousand performances from PiperÕs Opera House in Virginia City to Leningrad University in Russia, McAvoy has been preeminent in preserving the wit & wisdom of The Wild Humorist of the Pacific Slope, Mark Twain.

McAvoy is a winner of the Nevada Award for Excellence in School and Library Service. He plays the ghost of Samuel Clemens in the Biography ChannelÕs episode of Mark Twain, and the Discovery ChannelÕs Cronkite Award-winning documentary, ÔAdventures of Huckleberry Finn.Õ Says McAvoy, ÒItÕs like being a Monday through Friday preacher, whose sermon, though not reverently pious, is fervently American.
