Big River
Dates: October 17-26, 2008
Come see Huck Finn's and Jim's adventures along the way down the Mississippi, which are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming. The show brings to life your favorite characters from the novel - the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck's partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck's drunken father, the sinster Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family.
Propelled from an award-winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brillianty theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
About Our Mainstage Productions
Riverside Theatre Works is a family theatre devoted to entertaining and bringing a family together for an affordable night out. Each year, we choose productions that make people laugh, wonder, and relax through songs and comedic moments. RTW Performing Arts Centre's school and mainstage theatre work closely together to also ensure that students in the school have an opportunity to perform on stage. Plays and musicals are chosen with this in mind, thus have roles for children ages 5-18 throughout the season.
