  On Wednesday, October 16, 2019, as part of the 147th AES Conference, The HEAR Now Festival presented "An Intimate Evening with Tesla and Twain" featuring the original audio play "Tesla and Twain: Annihilators of Distance" by Butch D'Ambrosio.

The time is October 1900 and Mark Twain has just returned from Europe and has moved into the Earlington Hotel (formerly the Gerlach Hotel, where Tesla once lived in the late 1890s and is now the Radio Waves Building) while his family is looking for a new home.

On this night Twain is spending an evening with his friend Nikola Tesla at the as they discuss the latest inventions which will lead to, and, revolutionize communications.

This performance, featuring P.J. Ochlan as Tesla, Robert Alvey as Twain, with Radio World Edior Paul McLane as the hotel manager.
