Mark’s Twain’s 88 Days in the Mother Lode
Jim Fletcher, drawing from his current book, Mark’s Twain’s 88 Days in the Mother Lode & Stories from the Gold Rush, will delight visitors to Manzanita Arts Emporium during April with stories and insights about America’s foremost humorist whose story about a certain frog put Angels Camp and Calaveras County smack-dab in the middle of the national spotlight in the 1860s and catapulted its author to fame.
Starting on Saturday, April 16 and regularly visiting on most Saturdays thereafter, Fletcher will give you the scoop.
An enthusiastic devotee of the Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain history and legend, Jim Fletcher presents the story of the eighty-eight days Mark Twain spent in the Mother Lode, his association with the Gillis brothers, and some of the legendary writer’s notes and excerpts from that time period. Fletcher’s book is rich with the adventures and misadventures that led up to Twain’s stay in the Gold Country, and his fruitful time spent gathering material in his “Notebook Four.”
These FREE “Twain Talks” (11 am to noon) with Jim Fletcher every Saturday in April will highlight stories about and by the man who did not hesitate to follow his own writing advice to “get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.”
Starting on Saturday, April 16 and regularly visiting on most Saturdays thereafter, Fletcher will give you the scoop. Manzanita Arts Emporium 1211 South Main Street, Angels Camp, CA 95222

Maple & Vine At Black Bart Playhouse
Jordan Harrison’s look at our yearning for the “good old days”, “Maple and Vine”.
An urban power couple has become allergic to their 21st-century lives. After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s re-enactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. In this compulsively authentic world, these two 21st century transplants are surprised by what their new neighbors – and they themselves – are willing to sacrifice for happiness. Maple and vine plays Fridays and Saturdays at 7PM, and Sundays at 2PM April 15 through May 15th at the Black Bart Playhouse. Click here to purchase tickets.
