A Spoken Word Performance
by Henry Rollins
Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 7:30 pm
Henry Rollins is a multi-talented man--he's a musician, writer, journalist, publisher, actor, television and radio host, spoken word artist, comedian, and activist. At The Mark Twain House and Museum, he'll be performing a spoken word show. It's sure to be topical, funny, thoughtful, and unforgettable.
Plus, it will be one of only a few shows that he is doing this year and the only one east of Chicago.
After performing for the short-lived Washington DC-based band State of Alert in 1980, Rollins fronted the California hardcore punk band Black Flag from August 1981 until mid-1986. Since Black Flag disbanded, Rollins has hosted numerous radio and television shows. He had recurring dramatic roles in the second season of Sons of Anarchy, in the final seasons of the animated series The Legend of Korra as Zaheer, and has also had roles in several films. Rollins has also campaigned for various political causes in the United States, including promoting LGBT rights, World Hunger Relief and an end to war.
