The Mark Twain House & Museum, Live Performance

October 1 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

October 11 • 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

In this spellbinding and entertaining memoir Regina and Ryan Cohn, trendsetters and tastemakers, have reinvented what the artifact collectors market looks like. Together, they are the founders of Oddities Flea Market, artfully curating a selection of the best artists and collectors at several events across the U.S. throughout the year, with an eye towards expanding globally. In The Witch’s Door Regina and Ryan take us on a fascinating and specially curated tour of their most macabre and mysterious objects, art, and artifacts, sharing their incredible history and stories. They’ll take us all over the world, from Brooklyn to Bavaria, giving us the inside scoop on how we purchase artifacts to sell and those we want to keep.

$10 General Admission. $5 Reduced Admission. REGISTER HERE.

Copies of The Witch’s Door are available for purchase through the Mark Twain Store; proceeds benefit The Mark Twain House & Museum. Books will be shipped after the event. We regret that we are NOT able to ship books outside the United States as it is cost-prohibitive to do so.
