About BIG RIVER:<\/p>\n

Twain’s timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the
\nirrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to
\nfreedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way
\nare hilarious, suspenseful, and heart-warming, bringing to life your
\nfavorite characters from the novel: the Widow Douglas and her stern
\nsister, Miss Watson, the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not
\nbe as harmless as they seem, Huck\u2019s partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and
\ntheir rowdy gang of pals, Huck\u2019s drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn,
\nthe lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an
\naward winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this
\njaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure
\nAmericana.<\/p>\n
