An FYT Production . . . THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER
July 17 – August 1
Ages 8 and up
Written by Mark Twain
Adapted by Timothy Mason
Directed by Walter Hill
Choreographed by Margaret A. Mead-Finizio
One of the most beloved characters of American fiction, Tom Sawyer is a force of nature—whether he's sneaking out of his Aunt Polly's house at night to visit the graveyard or duping his playmates into white-washing a fence or stealing a kiss from the ravishing Becky Thatcher or taking a stand against the murderous Injun Joe. Tom's small-town adventures on the banks of the Mississippi are the magical essence of childhood, a joyous leap into the great river of time and memory. You won’t want to miss Mark Twain’s immortal American classic as FYT brings it to the stage for its first time ever.
