Reports of My Death...
Have Been Greatly Exaggerated!
Spend a delightful evening with Jerry Salley as he performs from Huckleberry Finn, Life on the Mississippi, Roughing It, and other novels, stories and speeches by one of America’s best loved authors.
Now you can hear in his own words what Samuel Clemens thought about religion, politics, women and humor. See how entertaining this man of letters was in his day, and discover how much of his insight applies today.
Jerry Salley's knowledge of Samuel Clemens and over 200 professional and polished presentations of this historical and literary figure earned him the recognition of becoming a featured speaker for the Mississippi Humanities Council.
Jerry Salley performed as Mark Twain on stage and as an after-dinner speaker.
Performances have ranged from twenty minutes to two hours, with the average after-dinner speech being about one hour.
The Reports Of My Death... has been performed for business conferences, civic clubs, churches, libraries, universities, and theater productions. Salley has performed before Cub Scouts, retirees, students, and even a Marine Corps reunion! Audiences have ranged from as few as twenty people to almost 2,000. Since 1990, Salley has donned his white suit over two hundred times to perform in places as diverse as Cincinnati, Dallas, and Branson, Missouri.
You can be sure Mark Twain will get your audience’s attention with his stories of riverboating, buffalo hunting, and ghosts! Along the way, they’ll fall in love with America’s best known writer and his gentle mix of wit and wisdom.
"An experienced, industrious, ambitious, and often quite picturesque liar."
