The Corporate Mark Twain won't motivate a sales force to unprecedented success, or make a district manager more productive ... he will give your audience a very funny and unique keynote to remember!
 
During the last 25 years, Ken Richters as "THE CORPORATE MARK TWAIN" has been performed over 1,000 times throughout the United States and abroad, and traveled more than 1,000,000 tour miles. In addition to performing for two U.S. PRESIDENTS (Ronald Regan and Bill Clinton) and countless members of the U.S. CONGRESS, this award-winning performance includes a total of 18 FORTUNE 500 CORPORATIONS among its impressive, and constantly growing client list. In addition to his site-review luncheon performance being credited by the COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES for choosing his hometown of Hartford, Connecticut as a location for one of that year's Presidential Debates, he represented the United States in a presentation to the WORLD TRADE Organization's annual meeting in Budapest, Hungary.
 
KEN RICHTERS first began performing in the early 1970's as a singer and featured dancer with a number of regional theaters throughout New England. Since that time, he has displayed a unique blending of talents rarely seen in a single performer. A familiar face to television audiences around the country, he has been seen in a number of weekly series and made-for-television movies. His motion picture work includes a starring role in the award-winning independent film JEAN, which was produced by the AMERICAN WRITER'S THEATER FOUNDATION and Tom Fontana and filmed entirely on location at the EUGENE O'NEILL CENTER in Connecticut. The millennium found Ken Richters as Mark Twain sharing the stage with another great American author, Tom Wolfe, as part of HARPER'S MAGAZINE star-studded 150th Anniversary Gala celebration in New York. Following that performance, PBS had him provide the voice of Mark Twain for their controversial series CULTURE SHOCK - CHALLENGING ART.
 
In addition, Ken spends time each year working on a number of special projects. He has been the opening act for many show-business veterans including THE TEMPTATIONS, ROBERTA FLACK, the late LAURA BRANIGAN and HENNY YOUNGMAN, and THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS; co-starred with Academy Award actress Nina Foch in her life's retrospective, AN EVENING WITH NINA FOCH; and performed with Olympic Gold Medalist OKSANA BAIUL. He often works behind-the-scenes doing private coaching and consultation with corporate executives, politicians, and bestselling authors, to assist them in preparing for public appearances. Last year, he was the featured performer at an annual benefit production for PAUL NEWMAN'S HOLE IN THE WALL CAMP for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
