Mark Twain Narrators

Host: PJ Ochlan

Description: Mark Twain was one of America’s greatest storytellers. Every year, the Hear Now Festival features a selection of readers interpreting excerpts from Twain’s large body of work. Since we are not able to stage the festival’s usual event at Prospero’s Bookstore in Kansas City, we are presenting this year’s Mark Twain Narrators live online.

Join us for a delightful taste of a great man of letters.

Andrea Emmes

An award-winning narrator with over 200 titles, Andrea Emmes has been a professional actor for over twenty years, performing on stage, television, film, video games, and audiobooks. She has a degree in Game Art and Design and is the producer of the short, animated film, “Mila”. Her wide range of character voices and her dynamic and emotionally invested performances have reviewers and listeners alike raving about how effortlessly she pulls people in.

Nancy Peterson

Nancy Peterson - an Audie Award winner, multiple Voice Arts Award and Independent Audiobook Award nominee - began her career in audiobooks with petty theft. Her dad’s brand-new-and-strictly-off-limits tape recorder was too tempting to bear. She and her friends recreated worlds from favorite chapter books, reading aloud into the device. She never could have dreamed that this would be the beginning of a career she loves. A 25- year veteran actor of stage, screen and recording studio. Nancy has a penchant for dialects; diving deep into the study of language. Her narration style, summed up by AudioFile Magazine, “creates the sense of listening to a play instead of a straightforward reading.” Nancy resides near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with her husband and children, two dogs, three fish, one turtle, one snake, a hive of bees, and a gecko.
