Mark Twain's The Diaries of Adam and Eve at New Mexico Actors Lab

Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross return to New Mexico Actors Lab for another Valentine week benefit, this time performing an adaptation by David Birney of Mark Twain’s Diaries of Adam and Eve. This special performance will be held at the Lab Theater, 1213 Parkway Dr., at 1 p.m. on Sunday, February 12 at 1 p.m.  followed by a garden party and reception to enjoy dessert and meet the stars. Tickets for all performances are on sale now at www.tix.com/ticket-sales/NMActorsLab/6585 or www.nmactorslab.com. 

The late actor David Birney (Meredith Baxter’s former husband) combined Eve’s Diary with an earlier piece by Twain called Extracts from Adam’s Diary into the endearing The Diaries of Adam and Eve, which serves as a pleasurable reminder of Twain’s storytelling genius and how much fun it is to hear his words aloud.  Gross and Baxter will portray the universe’s first couple as Twain envisioned them: Eve is wiser, smarter and more eager for a relationship than Adam, who is exasperated by Eve’s relentless chatter. NMAL Managing Director Robert Benedetti will direct the production.
