About the Mark Twain Education Society
In 1979, The Harristown Development Corporation of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania invited Alan Kitty to perform as Mark Twain. His 90-minute one-man show. “Alive and Well” was part of a plan to reimagine the Capitol City’s downtown as a destination.

Kitty suddenly found himself as Twain at regional bluegrass festivals, schools, and libraries. Soon after, he began to reread the Twain books he grew up with. Amazed by a new understanding of America’s culture and history, a deep dive into scholarly research followed. The result was a library lecture series, theatrical performances around the country, school presentations, and scores of after-dinner and corporate event speeches written to help clients achieve their unique meeting goals.

The Mark Twain Education Society expands the ability to serve clients here and abroad.
