The BackLot Players Present - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Backlot Players at the Rose Theater present January’s addition to the ’19– ’20 season.
One of the most beloved characters of American fiction, Tom Sawyer, is a force of nature. He is either sneaking out of his Aunt Polly’s house at night to visit the graveyard or duping his playmates into white-washing a fence. Don’t forget about him 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 River are the magical essence of childhood, a joyous leap into the great river of time and memory.
January 31st, February 1st, 7th, 8th at 7:30 PM. February 2nd, 9th at 2:30 PM.
