Tom and Huck

Through laughter and songs we trace the adventures of these two famous boys from Hannibal, Missouri during the "unknown" period between the two Mark Twain classics. After finding the robber's gold in the cave, the boys' new wealth attracts a motley assortment of speculators, investors, inventors and two of the most ridiculous villains you'll ever meet. Of course, Becky Thatcher and all of the other original characters are here along with some new surprises which will delight young and old alike, including a delightful score of foot stomping river songs!

CAST: 8 males, 16 females, 6 m/f plus townfolk and ghosts

PRODUCTION: 1 Act. Prologue, epilogue, 6 scenes and 1 crossover.
