BIG RIVER Comes To RMTC April 7-10

Red Mountain Theatre Company's Young Artist Series presents Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on April 7-10, 2011, at the RMTC Cabaret Theatre (301 19th Street North).

Based on Twain's timeless classic, Big River sweeps audiences down the mighty Mississippi along with the irrepressible Huck Finn as he helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. The adventures they face along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming. 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. View Cast List
