Stage legend Hal Holbrook retires before Thalian Hall performance
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A stage legend will not visit Wilmington next month after all.
After 63 years, Hal Holbrook has decided to retire from performing his one-man show about Mark Twain.
Holbrook, who won a Tony and an Emmy for the role, was scheduled to perform at Thalian Hall October 20.
Thalian plans to replace the show with a two-week run of “Give ’em Hell, Harry” with former president Harry Truman’s own grandson performing the title role.
