Muncie Civic Theatre presents Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on the Mainstage Theatre, July 17-19 & 23-25. Thursday through Saturday performances are at 7:30pm and the Sunday matinee on July 19th is at 2:00pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students. Directed by Marty Grubbs.
Mark Twain's timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing 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 sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
Call 288.PLAY to purchase your tickets over the phone or stop by the Box Office, Wednesday-Friday from Noon-6:00pm at 216 E. Main Street in Muncie.
